Too much engine work at once

So it doesn't matter when you do it. :D
Might as well while you are already part way there.
Really the only time people wipe cams is using too much spring during the break in.
If the springs are no more than around 300lb or so open, then you really don't have much to worry about.

That makes me feel better. I just got the call that my heads are ready at the machine shop, so I will ask about fully lifted pressure. So new cam it is.
