I adjust mine twice per year. Sometimes, they have not loosened up at all but, I check anyway. Then I release the pressure on the valve train for winter storage. That's why I don't get too carried away with sealing the covers with sealant.

Once a year. The Ersons hold a lash very well and then when I put the valve covers back on I just run a fresh glob of black RTV along the back and let them sit for 24 hours. I really believe those black rubber valve cover gaskets that are now 3m sealed to the covers will last forever. But a good 50%, maybe a bit more, of the pundits on the FE forum prefer cork.
