If you have the light weight valves you really should not run the engine above an idle after sitting for a long time. My '67 Cyclone sat for 15 years without starting and I have no worries as I'm using Donovan stainless steel. I have never heard of a Donovan valve breaking. The sodium Ford valves will fall apart just sitting in the original box. They are filled with salt and will corrode from the inside out. Save your investment and buy a set of Ferrea valves. Not cheap, but worth the expense.
