Only a small hole in the cover ," which was caused by a kerb" i don't think it was dirt ingress! methinks,.2 possibilities either the bashed casing caught something inside ,or as the noise sounded more of a knock that a grind . possibly, as the engine was on its side, it ran for a few seconds and picked up some air rather than oil . If it was my first sernario I should see something when I change the engine cover, the other i will never know and as everything sounds ok I hope for the best, I'll wait to see what happens on the insurance front , then "as the bike is usable" repair the damage over the winter
