Default Adjusting valves for solid roller

What's up fellas, I'm thinking about going with a forged 347 solid roller, my question is how often and how hard is it to adjust the valves, this is my only problem with going with a solid roller, thanks guys

Adjusting the valves is relatively easy - you just rotate the engine a few times stopping as specific cylinders come to the right position to adjust the clearances. The most time consuming part is usually removing the other parts that are in the way - coils, valve covers, radiator, etc. The frequency varies, but once every 10k miles will usually work. If you are racing alot, you would likely check clearances before every event.
