The engine must be inspected according the document you just posted.

It clearly states the engineer must asses the reduction in life of the motor from using emergency boost.

That means done by performing an oil analysis, oil change, compression check, and overall inspection of the condition of the motor.

No, the Merlin engine service manual is pretty clear, that a simple oil filter check was all that was required. Dowding's memo states the same. The engineer officer is always assessing the life of a engine and the regular engine checks are quite sufficient for that.
