If you plan on living long enough that the parts for the rods get worn, then you will have to again adjust them, after fixing the worn parts.

Obviously, worn parts should be replaced, as the video states. I very respectfully disagree that the rod adjustments should never be touched. That is all. There is definitely a need to adjust the rods. At least initially.
