X3 If guys "...dusts them off and drives it to shows...", They could go 30 years without adjusting the valves, IMO. There is a myth that solids are high maintenance. BITD, as a teen, at my job, I would pump Sunoco 260 & check under the hood. Most all the hot cars came in there for gas. I can't tell you how many I saw that had 60K , or so, on the odometer and it was evident their valve covers had never been off.
