Does this mechanic have a clue?

Based on the limited information I would say maybe he has a clue, hard to say. I agree the price seems fair with modern labor rates being what they are. It sounds like he isn't familiar with modern Honda engines with valvetrains that still require manual adjustment, which we have to admit is unusual. Nearly every modern mass-produced automotive engine either has hydraulic or other self-adjusting valves.
