Thye don't have to take the head off off to check the valves etc, simply removing the two inspection covers on the front and rear of the head will allow them access. There are plenty of mechanics out there who can get these off without having to clean them!!!!!

I find a little dab of snopake (correction fluid) on the relevent bolts and screws keep the mechs honest!

That said, since I do most of it myself now, I'm only kidding myself!
