Looking back at my record book it was 70hrs. since I cleaned the valves and carbon not 50hrs. as I said earlier. I think if there was an abrasion on the valve stem it would show up sooner rather than later.
It did not act up before pulling the heads and has run flawlessly for 70hrs. since before starting to act up.
