Coolant in oil

was doing the valves on my honda shadow and like a moron me and my buddy removed the coolant hose going to the engine and got some coolant in the head. I blew it down the head with compressed air and dumped engine oil down the head with the oil drain bolt out. i then put more oil in it and a new filter and topped off the coolant and cranked it and it sounded/seemed fine. how screwed am i?

You're probably fine. Keep an eye on it for a few hundred miles to see if you get any "oil milkshake" stuff going on. If you're really paranoid, you could dump the oil again after this just in case.

no biggie: small qty on accident and you're taking care of it.

Bad news if the oil and coolant find their way together on their own.
