You don't.

There are some areas you could inspect post assembly, like the pan seal by sticking a borescope into the drain plug. Everything else like Upper Oil Pan, Timing Cover, and Valve Covers, you cannot inspect.

And that is the point of this product we've developed and are testing. If the silicone sheds, it won't matter. It will never become an oil flow restriction. You'd have to take the worst-case example and multiply it by 10 before it even made any kind of impact on flow.
