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.

and without shims it's a pita. Plus if it's anything like my scirocco then special tools are required. I don't even know where those tools are 
ah I remember now, gave them to a buddy.
