Cam Problem!

Comp recently changed the paperwork in theirs, to mention the Rotella/zink deal, checking for lifter rotation, and to remove the inner springs from dual setups for break in. I have only seen the updated paperwork once, and that was in a cam and lifter kit in one box about 2 months ago. I usually get my cams and lifters seperately, and the notes werent/arent in there yet. As far as the engien bbeing filled with debris, I'm sure it has some. If this doesnt bother you, go ahead and replace the cam. It may be just fine, it may not. You do not want to overfill the oil pan. You DO want to get the engine to at least 1500rpm immediately at fire up, and keep it over 2000 for 10-15 minutes. The cams are only splash fed, if the oil isnt whipping off the spinning crank, it doesnt get much oil. Overfilling can cause the oil to get frothy, and that just gets pumped thru everything..frothy oil cant work. You can run 1qt over the pan rating easy,. but putting 8 qts in a 6qt pan is asking for trouble, and leaks..lol. As for the preoiling, you need to have the cam and lifters installed, and you must rotate the engine over while prelubing, to get oil to the top end of both sides. The passages only line up for a short time during the cam's rotation, and never both sides at once.
