I will tell them to call the guys up in Newport News for some tips on how to solve.

Big question is - Does the new valve cover solve the problem? I don't need to go through this crap every 20-25k miles. Car currently has around 23.5k miles.

Thanks,

I am sure once they remove the Valve cover they will see the carbon buildup, if there is any in your case..... Good Luck and keep us updated...I am in the same mileage level as yourself. BMW is installing a new Camshaft in my car, so I have the same issue I hope they clean the stuff too.
