Noob question here, quite possibly a dumb one, so apologies in advance:

I seem to remember reading here or somewhere that some experienced folks skip checking CB1100 valves "since they're never out of spec for this precision machine," or something to that effect.

Did I misunderstand that? Or maybe I generalized one member's extreme minority opinion? Do folks truly not hassle with checking the CB1100 valves, or am I on the wrong track and they definitely need checking per the maintenance schedule?

Thanks in advance for helping the new guy.
