With open headers it would appear as a miss and could go from that to a catastrophe quickly. It's pretty awful when a hard seat is getting smashed to hell by a steel valve into a soft aluminum head. and aluminum piston. Allot of seats are made of powdered metal like almost all the Dura-Bond stuff. When they get loose and move out, if the valve hits it at an angle, they break like glass.
I bet it came with a pay cut. In the 80s I was working at a mill that was building a new sawmill in Texas.
They offered jobs to those willing to move but at about a 40% pay cut.
One guy took it.
Anywhere its so hot and muggy you are sweating as soon as you get out of the shower, they can have it.
