You do not have to remove the Clutch-cover, the CCT, or the Camshafts to "CHECK" the Valve-Clearances.
You DO have to remove all of those things to "ADJUST" the Valve-Clearances, as the adjustment Shims are underneath the Valve-Buckets.
You cannot remove the Valve-Buckets without removing the Camshafts.
If you have to remove the CCT, I would upgrade to the latest "Gen-2" design, or a Manual-adjustment one.
Throttle-Body sync has nothing to do with your symptoms, but should be done after a valve-clearance adjustment.
I would check your VIN number against any recall listings.
