I am assuming a glaring yet easy to fix violation, you would continue on, but for something like an illegal motor in the drive-train, you know this will be a major re-work. Does it depend on the teams reaction?

If I see a glaring issue of non-compliance that is as significant as an illegal motor, I would stop the inspection process completely. At that point, I would tactfully focus and seriously address that issue. If there were other issues, such as electrical tape missing from battery leads or other easily-fixed things, I ask them to not worry about them for now and focus on the big issue. Essentially, I would stop the inspection process and have them concentrate on that issue as described above. Then, after that issue was handled, we would pick up where we left off. This pause in the action may take 3-4 hours of focused work.
