As to the question at hand...

The question is when the valve cover was removed, was it "shiny clean all the way down timing cover?" If so, then I'd tend to trust it. The problem with an indirect inspection is trusting the experience and throughness of the inspector. With the oil pan pulled (and disassembled), there is no judgement necessary, the evidence is plain.
So the answer to your question is:
how much do you trust the "clean bill of health" and is it worth $300 for total peace of mind (in which case, why even have bothered with the valve cover?)
