Jerry, do you have data on whether the SVHO engine actually needs the valve clearances adjusted?
The service schedule says to check the clearance every 200 hours, but I have not seen much info on whether the factory shims typically need to be changed. Or typically are still just fine?
Put another way, is there ‘normally’ so little wear that after the 200 hour inspection the same shims are still in place, since the measured clearances are still within factory spec?
My own SVHO engines are approaching 300 running hours and the valve lifter clearances have not yet been checked.

They are probably pushing customers to do it.... Just because I have never heard of a dealer performing this service doesn't mean it's not happening. There's a lot of clueless people out there that don't know better and dealers are taking advantage of them.... these are the same guys paying $350 for oil changes at their dealer!
