No, but if the exhaust port shows signs of oil from down the guide or from combustion the port can get plugged. The other issue with the acts is they are not tight

What prevalence?  Of those you're disassembling or checking best guess as to a percentage that didn't maintain torque?

I like making pizza too. I have a 3/4" thick ceramic baking stone in the bottom oven. Heat that
bitch to 550*. Hobart dough mixer too.  ;D

There are manual and there are auto types, they are screwed  into the heads. The auto ones open when you turn the ignition switch on so when you hit the starter they reduce the amount of cylinder compression too make it easier on the starter to crank the motor once it starts they close and there is full compression again.

I have manual compression releases in my 2002.  It'd be nice if there was an auto CR that'd screw into where the manual releases are for those of us still running older bikes..

It wouldn't be hard to make adapter buckets but the whole mess would not be very attractive.
