All the cams had to come out and the eight VTEC buckets needed small tool inserted in each to activate those valves before putting the cams back in and then beginning the measurements. GAWD! Then the cams had to come out again to make shim changes... Just awful.
Thankfully the interval was 16,000mi and the cam sprockets could remain on.
I used to notice that there were a lot of VFR800s that got sold at about 30k miles to avoid the second service. Probably the same on old 4-valve Ducatis.
