I just screamed in horror reading that, just wanted to get that out.

It is worse than it sounds. You have to first shim the two valve stems individually to both be the same height, then place the bucked on and add/remove height in unison to get your final clearance.

Maybe not so bad if you have a wall full of shims, but even then dealer trained mechanic book time for adjusting valves was 16.5 hours.

Wow, that sounds worse than the valve train on a Porsche 4 Cam flat 4, the one with shaft drive cams.
