I'm sure that Roger looked at everything when the valve covers were off.

The important thing is that you are aware that the mechanical roller lifter cam has special needs or considerations.

You have heard a few of them here.

Talk to CompCams as planned.

Bosswrench actually gave you justification in not babying the engine but all the car manufacturers now use roller lifter camshafts of various types so the technology in the components has improved durability of them incredibly.

Infact one could even argue that you should/could get unlimited mileage increases in the valvetrain because of all the rollerized friction points that traditionally with "your" basic simple hydraulic flat lifter camshafts was worn out at 50,000 miles previously. So all things are not bad here at all.
I agree, just drive it. Some internal issues are actually caused or enhanced by the lack of usage. You wouldn't want to be one of those guys right?
