If your valves are in good enough shape to work with any cam they are good enough to work with that one. That cam isn't much bigger than stock on the lift part. He is feeding you a line of garbage. You won't even need special valve stem seals with that one. Take your engine somewhere else. This guy knows little about FEs. I am not sure if he knows his job very well either.
