Well , it seams like they need it every couple years if ya use them the way we do . When adjusting the valves on them ya have to look and see where the ware pattern is on the rockerarm as it will not be dead center on the valve stem and you have to get the feller gauge set in there just wright or there will be a bridgeing affect and your adjustment will be off and one should go over it a couple times to get it wright as once over you will have a couple tickers . Way back when Hector was a puppy and cars and trucks had solid lifters you ran the valves every 10000 miles on a car or pickup engine if ya wanted it to stay in top shape , on a 5.9 B sieres Cummins about every 25000 miles on a 855 NTC cummins i did mine at 25000 miles and on the newer 3406 Cats they recomend every 100000 miles . So if the old girl has some ticken then she is not running up to snuff .
