8000 Mile Valve Adjustment requirement

[Ulvetanna_imp]

I would say that unless you are beating it to death and constantly running near the red line you should be OK to go over the 8000. Valve train wear is accelerated at high RPM's.

Mine were all in spec, I run it into the rev limiter occasionally.

As The ferret stated, take your trip and then have them checked. Don't do it early, if anything, do it later. They'll likely be in spec anyway but at least give them a chance to go out.
