Correct, at 5k rpms, the valves may float a little on
old tired valve springs.  Also, don't forget about
carbon deposits on pistons.  I unfortunaly drove
around for a while after it has skipped a few teeth.
No thanks to the mechanics who never checked the belt,
and thoght I had a fuel delivery problem.  This was
all in my pre-list days.
