I do mine probably once a year, I don't do over the 6000 mile recommended interval but I do them anyway.
I found that a quick valve clearance and timing tune made my engine much cleaner, more powerful and quieter. Best hour of spannering in a while that was.

Often missed especially by garages during simple servicing but worth doing
Some people don't like doing it but it's simple enough
How long since they were last done?
I agree with Paul D do it at service time or every other depending on mileages covered
I do mine every time but then I'm always greasing the props too

most times youd get away with reusing old one with a little sealant unless its very old

no damage , check caps for wear when you set tappets they can wear very thin
