I feel people are too scared of solid cams these days.
My bike needs the valves set every 16,000 miles per the manual. I do it every 32,000 and have never had any of them too far out of spec to make me want to do it sooner. Its really not that difficult, and its easier on a truck with all the space we have under the hoods. My 388 is a solid flat tappet as well.
