The exhaust side is tight and the intake side is usually loose from what I've seen.

I looked up the factory recommended interval for valve adjustment and its says "Adjust only if noisy".
Normally I would say follow MFG recommendations, but there has to be some time interval. Looked up some other high revving Honda motors (B18c5) and its recommended every 30K.
