Well you two DO definitely have excellent T3 Karma!
At the dealer, how many miles did the engines with broken valves usually
have on them when they let go?
Did the dealers actually suggest a valve job at a certain point, kinda like
a timing belt change today?

My 71 has over 100K on the engine since the last teardown. Still going
strong, well, it is burning oil. The compression is good, and have never
had a valve that was out of adjustment.  Maybe Jim and I are just lucky.
