So any good cam and lifters out there?
I just broke in a Comp 268H cam and lifter set, I even used semi synthtic oil for breakin that most say not to use and it's fine. I just used plenty of assembly lube and dialed timing before initial startup.
It ran first crank and never saw below 2000 rpm.
I think the problems mostly happen when an engine needs restarted a few times before the breakin cycle is completed.
