I think the bigger question is what is loaded up on the top end of the motor? Better get at least one valve cover off and see what it looks like under there.

I don't think they have to be adjusted unless they are making noise. Seems like most of these cars never need it. Honda's seem to need them every 100k or so, but they have a different set up.

Great.

Cure is done, but you need to investigate the reasons. If you find any, please post.
