RR engines for the 787 family defifnitely need something far more than just a cursory inspection for the troubles are worrisome and numerous.
This could be the death of the T-1000.
Initially, Boeing wasn’t diverting engines from the production lines to airlines with aircraft on the ground (AOG), airlines complained to LNC. One airline contrasted Boeing’s action to Airbus, which directed Pratt & Whitney to divert new production Geared Turbo Fan engines to customers with AOG instead of to the production lines. A320neos litter the Toulouse (and probably Hamburg) airport with engineless A320neos.
I think Rolls-Royce is getting sloppy.
Manufactures will lie to sell their goods. Some more, some little, eventually some get the lies discovered.
Sometimes you get a small slap (ETOPS downgrade) sometimes a bigger one (see WV buy back of millions of 4 cylinder diesel-powered cars in USA).

Are they not inspecting it?
What is with the fabricators not inspecting incoming material, and not inspecting finished goods?
The reputation of aviation safety depends on the current group of manufacturers doing the right thing, and dismiss the MBA's that are a pit in the path of progress.
