Yes, it is normal for a dryer heating element (gas or electric) to cycle "on" and "off".
Is it anything wrong with the dryer now? Why do you need to check anything?

Here is what's going on...
Dryier starts, igniter lites, gas valve comes on and lites, runs 20-30 sec. and then cuts out on high limit. (220-40 F high temp limit opens).
Took apart, cleaned, cut some of the air down until good blue flame and now it will run for a min or two and then cycles off the valve and then comes back on.
Checked out gas pressure when the valve opens and ignites and it is about 2-2.5" in W.C.
So, here are my questions:
Is it normal for the unit to cycle the burner on and off?
What is the normal/typical discharge temp out of the back of the dryier?
What is a normal/typical temp inside the dryier?
What else should I be checking for?
