Have had mine checked 3 times about about 12K mile intervals. Cost ranged from $600-$800 dollars each time. All done at reputable dealers. Last time was a fubar result at Motoworld in San Diego area (I got "made-up" valve clearance values reported back to me) . Only one reputable dealer I would trust now and they are backed up from last Feb 2020 because lack of qualified mechanics. Just started doing the 4th check myself last night (Thu); hope to be done by end of day (Sat). Its my first time so I am going slow. Could not have attempted this without all the great how-two knowledge from this forum. Just got off the valve cover this morning. So far this effort has been very educational, plus I can see the shoddy work that Motoworld did at putting everything back together (excessive gasket glue all over the valve cover inside and out, plus improper routing of cables).
