I read a lot of threads about 3.2 valve guide issues when I was making PPI arrangements on my dad's 86 carrera cab.

One thread had a few posts from John Walker, where he describes what happens if you let them go too far. The valves gets loose enough in their guides that they don't sit squarely in the valve seats. Left long enough, they'll beat the valve seats oval.

You may want to do a search on some of John Walker's posts

If your compression and leakdown #s were good, then the valves are obviously seating well. Just a consideration if you let it go for a while.
