My car is going in for Inspection II soon (came due around 45,500 miles). I'm developing a list of requests for the dealer, including that they return the valve adjustment "worksheet" describing shim additions/removals.

I assume they will have easy access to some of the infamous VANOS bolts? Should I ask them to re-torque and loctite them?

Also, since the previous owner stupidly skipped the 1,200 mile service, it's essential that the transmission fluid and diff oil get flushed as Inspection II technically requires. However, there have been so many horror stories about dealers simply skipping the majority of work required in Inspection II; any ideas for ways to ensure it all gets done?

Thanks!
