Camshaft Break-In Procedures
- Coat the camshaft lobes & distributor gear with an EP
lubrication such as CL400 "Cam Guard" or a moly-paste.
- Apply the EP lubricant only to the lifter contact faces - not the
bores.
- Prime the lube system using new oil and filter.
- Use only oils that meet or exceed the latest API ratings.
- Do not use non-detergent oils, they do not have the anti-scuff
additives found in modern detergent oils.
- Start the engine and increase the RPM's to 1500-2000. Operate the
engine for 15-20 minutes at this speed. The higher speeds increase
splash lubrication and decrease nose loading.
- Avoid excessive cranking, no start donations and fuel/ignition
adjustments. The break-in procedure must commence as soon as the
engine has oil pressure. If the engine fails to start within 15-30
seconds, it is recommended to re-apply the EP lubricant to the lobes.
- If possible, following break-in, the idle should be adjusted to high
specifications.
