restriction is prior to the 'split' of this feed,
other side is to the Cams, then how long was the
engine run or tested in this condition ?

Even if it was for a few minutes only while
they diagnosed your Vanos noise, then your Top
end may well start rattling very quickly.

I would obtain some sort of undertaking on
the Valve Train given the issues over the
Vanos etc.

You certainly need to get it on the record.

I dont think they took a reading before the first start.... They will do all the test now. They also dont have a problem with replacing anything that needs to be done to fix it now, but if they miss anything I will sit with the cost later. I will push to get cams, gears and vanos replaced now but if they dont then your undertaking sounds like the way to go if they agree to it.
