I inspect the
oil filter after every race. If a bearing, cam, distributor gear, etc. developes a problem, it will show up in the filter. Pulling the pan will alow you to check for bearing problems but the only way to check the rotating assembly is to disassemble and wet mag the crank and rods for cracks, also measure everything, especially the rods for roundness.
Last year I had a roller cam start to flake a lobe, I found four or five flakes the size of pepper in the Omni screen filter and I was able to avoid any other damage.
