Not in the days the poster was talking about - crankshaft run out & filter inspection, after ground run was perfectly fine. (personally never had 1 fail after that was done & I did a few)
Also do not forget modified aircraft have been in the "clap group" crashes. I have seen a number of crashed for various reasons C210 including controlled flight into terrain & hitting power pole on forced landing - the old wings are still very strong.
