Do you know about www.shotimes.com ? The valve lash adj. is just part of a major scheduled maintenence. If you took it to a dealer (which I would never do) be prepared to be quoted atleast hundreds of $$$.

a valve adjustment at the dealer is more like over $1000. A full blown 60k service for the perfectionist is around $600 in parts.

Do you guy's want to see how it's done? Mine is due, might as well have an audience. I also have a spare engine to practice on.
