Pretty cheap. Unless the tech didnt seat a push rod correctly or didnt correctly lash the valves theres not much as in liability on the shops part. You might ask what lash settings were used and what the torque on the adjuster was. Pretty good judge if they set them or not when the tech rattles the number off or says uhhhhh I cant remember And its possible it was always a problem. What oil are you running?
