Been doing some reading on cam break in . There are some spooky stories out there about guys wiping the lobes right off their cams . This motor still has assembly lube dripping off of it after three years of sitting bolted to an engine stand wrapped in shrink wrap ,and bagged in a plastic bag. But, I still think I need to try and get some good lube on the cam lobes before firing this beast up. I have a tool that I made from and old distributor that will allow me to spin the oil pump to get everything wet on top . And , I plan on using some good break in lube additive for start up. Also , I will make sure that I'm TDC and the carb is primed and squirting fuel out of the carb. But, dangit , this is a spooky ordeal here fellas. Once she fires I'll have the carb set to run at 2000 RPM's. Is there anything else I need to watch out for or do? Oh, important info..... Flat tapped lifters.
