I reckon that now that most SR's are about 10yrs+ old they would benefit from new valve oil stem seals almost irrespective of mileage although most will be approaching the 100k mile mark??
Do a compression test. If thats OK you shouldn't need to touch it.
To make yur engine last 4 ever, flush the oil system, take the sump off and clean the pickup gauze out and then keep changing the oil every 3 - 5000 miles and the filter once every 2 oil changes. To be doubly safe add a magnetic attachment to the filter
