ANY sizeable foreign object that gets past the filter can clog oil passages including the piston cooling jets.
Know the most common? The foil seal from top of the oil jug. People punch it into the jug and then fill the filter. The center of the filter is the clean side and it sucks the seal right into the pump.
Coking oil?
According to Gale Banks that is not an issue.

Not me, I always give it a cool down. Same goes with start-up. Let it run for a minute or 2 before easing out on the road

I got problems with this in put.......you will notice most problems occur with the 1st couple of yrs of the 24 valve. Reason,-crank counter is a 3ps unit bolted to the rear of crank, somtimes gets a little loose and sets up a harmonic vibration breaking those little plastic things right off!
The next problem is one some know it all teck. tries to "rool in new bearings like in a semi ,,,,in this eng.it absolutely cant be done w.o. those little plastic crappy things dropping and get sheared off in the prosess or broken iff by thir hand.

and yes there some oil filters that will blow apart and ruin your lil eng.

what we do when rolling in new bearing into the ISB and ISC is get an old bearing and cut it down to quarter lenght and put a taper on the leading edge , roll the upper bearing and stick this quarter bearing in and roll it to the top and pull the old bearing out , roll the new bearing in and the cut bearing will fall out and viola , done deal

I doubt you have anything to worry about. Statistically you are golden with a 12 or 24 valve. I have seen milages on both that will boggle the mind. Ebay-> 94 12 valve 427000 miles sold for almost $6000.00. The highest I have actually seen with my eyes on a 24 was 323000 on Ebay and it was a 99.

All I can sugest is when changing the oil (and this is hard to do cause there is a raised lip around the oil plug hole on the inside) is stick your finger or wire hook up there and see if you can pull anything to you from the floor of the oil pan....or if you find little green tubes in the oil with your oil change you have problems.
Yes, I now have real live STEEL ones from way to close of a incounter with 4 of mine.
Like said you probly have no danger,,just a select few of us were nominated for this disaster,,your odds go up a little if you crank counter is at the rear rather then the front.........thats why it was moved to front. This info I pumped from the teck dude at Cummins N.W. in Renton.
