Well, I carefully studied Fred Harman's videos, and the Motoresto, BikeFixer and other youtube videos as well. Bought a bunch of tools and a set of HotCams shims. Braced myself for the worst. Even researched helicoils. Then got to work. Five afternoons of effort later....all valves are still in spec! No adjustment or vacuum balance needed!
I did notice that #2 throttle body fitting, which is not easy to get to, can easily be accessed immediately after reinstalling the cam cover. At that point, you will know if vacuum balance work is needed and can easily run a hose out.
My 2019 has 22,500 miles on it. Most of the valve movement should be done by now. It will take a great deal of self-discipline to do this again at 65,000 miles.
Now I just have to figure out how all those bits go back together.
