My engine was late done in 1961. Its .080" over, original type valves and I believe original camshaft. I tightened the crank and changed timing gears about 5 or so years ago. It doesn't leak or burn anything but compression is getting low. Thats just fine with me. I too am a slow driver. Under todays road conditions these engines should run for a long time along with todays good oils.
