ReneH Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 Wow!!!! Wonderful! Kudos to Summit. So, yesterday I've got progress and installed the new cam and lifters. Within this week I will re-mount the rest of the engine. This time I have added the comp cams break-in additive, cause my break-in oil is empty... I've checked all lifters working well. Next weekend I will start with setting the base timing and then I'll do the cam break-in like comp cams manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did lube the cam and lifters as you installed them with some special lube - right? And I’d spin the oil pump with a drill to prime the oil system so everything is well lubed. Good luck!

Hi Gary, yes, I've used the comp cams special lube that comes with the cam for the lobes, the bearings and also the lifters. I will also prime the oil system with a drill, before starting the engine and set the initial timing. Priming it now and start the engine about a week later seems to be not a good idea, I think...

Excellent! And it is best to prime it as close to starting as is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
