It looks like the older models have valves going out of spec at higher mileage. I think I will wait until 30k miles to check mine on my 2014 model. Performance has been great and the valve train sounds great. When they start going quiet then you know that the are getting tight. That’s when you need to re-shim them so you don’t burn a valve.
