I would expect a pushrod motor to go even further, since there is no cam chain and no tensioner. The single cam lobe (same lobe bumps the intake and exhaust) runs off of a gear from the crank, and it is bathed in oil. A good recipe for longevity.

Change your oil frequently, clean the screen each time, set the valves every second or third oil change, remove the clutch cover and clean the centrifugal portion of the oil pump once a year and enjoy it.
