Agree. Also oil filters are cheap . After adequate break in time cut it open . Have a look. I do this after most days of racing. Has saved a disaster once so far.

I did it with open headers for cam break in back about 1980 , luckily nothing bad happened. Broke in a 440 about 2014 with headers and mufflers, cam started going flat about 5 mins in , if I had open headers we would have never heard the strange tick

Better with mufflers if possible. Loud noises don't do our ears any favors + if you live in certain types of neighborhoods a 20 minute cam break in with open exhaust may mean you get to explain yourself to the police.
