I would be more likely to NOT do this if my car had fewer miles on it. I would wait until I had over 100K miles then take it in rather than replacing relatively new parts that work.

Just a different way of looking at it. It's the same reason I had the "cricket TSB" done right before the warranty expired. I didn't need it, but it zeroed out my pump.
Actually....robots more than likely assemble the valve train. You have no clue the level of training that is involved in Japanese manufacturing. I'm pretty sure their vehicles wouldn't be nearly bulletproof if they had "local yokels" building them.
