The usual things for Omega, plus makes sure it starts absolutely on the nose, shouldn't need cranking.

If it's not too late - make sure that it ticks over and decelerates at low revs smoothly (no hunting of the engine - otherwise you may need a new or recon injector pump). Shocked

Good service history is essential - these engines (altho' some on here will no doubt deny it) will go on forever if they've been serviced regularly (and that means every 4500 mile oil/filter changes) - if you think it's been neglected then don't touch it!

And that is MAXIMUM. Ideally every 3k!
