Hey Samm3y, just curious what are you basing your recommendation on? The fact that from the pictures, the amount of debris does not warrant the time and risk to open it up to investigate? Thanks.
The two main things you're really worried about are the mains and the Rb's... you've changed the rbs already, the mains you're not going to get to...if it's running well, id change the oil and monitor it, if it starts knocking throw the clutch or put it in neutral and kill the motor as fast as you can.. don't know what your old bearings looked like but if they were bad the shavings could be residual and a long boot around was enough to unsettle them wherever they settled before.

I have an oil pressure gauge in mine and have never seen a dip in pressure on a spirited drive.
