Cam And Lifter Hardness Testing

I know a major issues with wiped cams is guys Dont know how to start a fresh engine. I see guys with dead batteries, distributors 180 out, old fuel or low fuel, trying to prime and engine by turning it over instead of the right way, etc, etc.

Or building it and then leaving it for years before firing it. Meanwhile all the assembly lube has fallen into the rusty oil pan.
