Hi Ian,
I beleive you are right, as we know any car apreciates regular use.
Sadly today, modern life makes us to busy to give old cars regular use.
I had a sticky valve on the supersports when I first had it, again it had been in minimal use.
When I stripped it down, it was number 8 valve. The hot end of the engine. So for me no need to analyse it to much. Just put it down to querky old cars and owners.
I replaced all 8 valves and guides, and used it again.
Tony.
