did they give you the valve adjustment check sheet?
it should be included.

If they actually removed the valve cover to physically check the valves the work order should show these parts replaced:
Sealing rings, 6, 11-12-7-831-271
Cover gasket, 1, 11-12-7-832-034
Rubber grommets, 2, 11-12-1-437-395
Rubber grommets, 13, 11-12-7-830-972
Copper sealing rings, 2, 07-11-9-963-129

The stud bolt was replaced because they probably broke it off when tightening down the valve cover. If the grommets aren't replaced it's easy to over tighten the nuts as they are a contact torque against a sleeve inside the grommet.
As pointed out above they should have provided you with a record of the valve clearance measurements.

All gaskets are itemized on the report except Copper Sealing Rings last #'s 129. I didn't receive valve adjustment info - will pursue - thanks.
