This weekend I will be doing a camshaft swap in my brother's van. I will be using an old factory hydraulic cam with new hydraulic lifters. Question: When using a used cam with new lifters, is it necessary to do the whole cam break in procedure? I am pretty sure the answer is yes, but I wanted to make absolutely sure before I spend a bunch of money on oil and filters and assembly lube. |

Ok, so 2000 RPM for 20 min using 30 weight oil and lots of break in lube, drain oil, change filter. New filter, 5w-30 oil, 500 miles easy driving. Change oil and filter, 5w-30, 2000 miles regular driving, change oil and filter, drive normal? Or are you saying I just need to slather on the assembly lube and the motor can operate like normal? |

Naughty use of punctuation! Okay, so I will slather the lube on my 'shaft, stick it in the hole, and get the pistons pumping. Sounds like a good time will be had by all. |
