You have to pull the cam cover to see the shoes. The front one isn't difficult to check but the rear one requires a mirror and can be done without disassembling things.

What your looking for of course are tell-tale brown, burnt in wear grooves verses nice orange pads or if wear is further along, orange bits lying in the bottom or in the oil filter if you cut it open.

Forget the gear drives, they will be old fashion soon. Go with the roller chain conversion and only you know if you can do it.
