Question Is there anybody check and adjust valve clearance?

Who did that before, Is that a routine work? I feel my 2004 RX330 a little bit powerless, so want to adjust the valve clearance. But I heard the modern car doesn't need to do that. Any other opinions?

Need a 2nd or third opinion ... I think RX uses lifters. That does not mean there is no need for adjustment (which is done when the engine is assembled) but the wear is compensated by the lifter.

lack of power could be due to other things like ethanol.
