Its looking like the 1330 motor may be a good one; many riders have extremely high mileage
and no major failures reported that I know of.
So you said your documentation required a clearance check, now it doesn't? Is this the new triple? OHC?
A little anecdote on hydraulics not needing a clearance check. My Roadstar Warrior had hydraulic pushrod actuated 4 valve cylinder heads. At the head, a single pushrod actuated 2 valves with a forked rocker. The clearance check, verified that both valves installed height was the same, the difference between the two is what you were checking. I think the limit was 0.001 IIRC.
If your in warranty failure has anything to do with the valves, and you did not properly maintain it per the documentation, that could be interesting.
