Don't be going nuts taking apart stuff (VTEC solenoid screens, etc.) if the car is running fine.

If you're still worried about it when you see me, there's a couple of "tests" I can put it through to see if you've got a bum bearing or something going in the head.

When you say the oil level was all the way at the bottom of the dipstick, does that mean it was at the bottom off the hash marked area or the actual bottom of the dipstick? If it was at the bottom of the hashed area, you were only about a quart low. Nothing to worry about.
