I'm sure it is fine. I've had engines go nuts on me and take off heating the engine past 300 deg. I had the linkage pop off my hyper 7 before and engine reved up all by itself. After I shut it down the temp was a way hot 380 deg. Engine was fine afterwards.
If you are worried I'd pull the glow plug and put a couple drops of oil into it. Use WD40, motor oil, just oil to make sure its lubed because high heat can break down oil leaving little left to lube the engine. After the couple drops of oil then pull the pull start a couple times with no plug just to get oil into the engine and to be sure there is no mechanical damage and it rotates smooth. Then replace the plug (preferable wiht a new one just to be safe) and start it up and easily run it for a few minutes before getting hard on it again.
