Windage Trays And Etc During Cam Break-In

I had a cam wipe a lobe years ago with a comp hydraulic cam (XE295HL), did everything right (removed inner springs, etc), but I lost that engine. I went roller with the next engine with a small solid roller (XR286R). All was well...but I wanted more out of the engine. It was running 10.7's-10'8's normally, but the heads had low 10 second potential...unfortunately my rockers could not take any more spring pressure, so a bigger cam was not a cheap option. The cheapest solution for me was to switch to a solid cam, rather than drop over a grand for a bigger solid roller and new rockers. I ended up with Howards EDM lifters (oil through down to the cam face) and a nice healthy Hughes solid cam. Did the break in with break in oil and removed inner springs (same as always)....and I'm happy to say that I had no issues with this one. I used Lucas Hot Rod oil after break in. I probably won't go back to another roller unless my rockers kick the bucket. I good solid cam can get you similar performance to a roller if you build the combo right.
