It is interesting that I don't see a valve adjustment there. I usually do it on my car about every 15k/2 yrs or as needed. I think that the norm is every 30k though. I think I may be due up actually.

I did it on my friend's S at 50k miles.

Most of those inspections there are visual. You guys are lucky that you have a timing chain though.
