PO is trying to gather that info, puzzles me that he havent done so during his 3 yrs ownership!
I understand that valves’ inspection take considerable time (and money!) Wonder if an expert mech could hear valvetrain and judge without taking cams et al out
Take note of all other recommendations too, thank you all, gentlemen

If the valve adjustment has gotten too tight, there is nothing to hear. It is common for clearances to tighten up over time as the valves close millions of times against the valve seats. When a valve closes, it transfers heat to the cylinder head. If clearances are tight enough to prevent the valve from closing fully, damage to the valve is possible.
