Is it worth getting the valves re-seated or just let them do it themselves and is it worth getting tappets cleaned?

Dont really wanna pay the xtra cash if not really needed... But i have the choice

yeah clean hydraulic valve lifters, immerse them in oil for a week or so or dimantle them and clean, and yes re-seat valves as its good practice to do so

can just lap them in rather than haveing the seats re-cut.
The important bit abotu cleaning the lifters is to take them apart and release the pressur by pressing in the little ball bearing in the back to empty them.
