i like to coat all cams with moly and do the 10-15 min run-in cycle regardless of the claimed hardening process.... never fit cams dry regardless.

[new blood]

i ask only because the bottom end would be brand new..... there is no way that i will be running in the cam sat 1800 revs for 15 mins on an engine that needs to be run in.... any ideas???

help much appreciated.....

huh? why not.....i think your confused.... it is part of the breakin.... wont hurt anything. Been building engines for nearly 18 years now.

so it should be safe to run my engine and cams in at the same time?.....i might have over thought this issue....

i just thought that sitting @ 1800 revs for a new engine would not be good for the rings thats all.....

So i should install them and run is as usual?

cheers in advance

what did you use on the rings etc? best lube for breakin is wd-40 on the rings.

cams need running in. The last set of tomei cams I put in I used some pentrite cam run in gunk as usual

used auto trans fluid... then wd-40 (inox) .... engine is not finished yet..... will need to sort out some underlyng issues yet....

so uras.... in you professional opinion....

safe to build engine with the cams and run the whole thing in as normal....?

thanks again for fast response......

done it on every engine i build.. yes as these are mild cams.

On big v8's i tend to fit soft springs then fit the hard springs once the engine has done about an hour or two of running, but i still run in the cam the same time as the rest.

So Uras ..... how should i be running in my package?

i was under the impression that if i put a constant rev on a new motor that there would be minimal load on the rings.... i have heard that letting idle is bad for a new motor.... wouldnt holding constant revs-speed be the same?

This is where i am getting lost.....
