Valvetrain after 454,000 miles, plus a shoutout to my mechanic who's looked over this girl for 20 years

Hey guys what do you think? Does the inside of the motor look pretty good for its mileage.
Also if anyone is in need of a master tech in the Bay Area who won't bend you over backwards let me know!
Recently got front bearings replaced for $250 and rears for $200 I provided the parts, he's looked over my 80 for over 20 years.
Front timing cover seal and crankshaft seal were done for a great price too
Figured I'd help the community out, some of these shops are charging astronomical prices.

Looks good, how many of those miles are yours?

Which oil brand/viscosity/type have you used for the majority of the engine's life, ditto for the Oil filter ??

Have you or your mechanic used any type of engine/oil flushing chemicals and if so which brand and how often?
