Not Ranked
perry
i asked comp cam about using a lighter spring to break in the cam and the guy that has been very helpful suggested i not do that and instead use the regular spring without the inner spring. he did say to run the engine for 25- 30 minutes, re install the inner spring and then run for another 15 minutes. the initial break in was for about 20-25 minutes. i'll try the longer system this time. i think everything would have worked out just fine if the stud had been matched to the cam in the first place. by the way, the revs never exceeded 3,500 rpm's when the stud broke. after installing the new studs i ran the ingine up to 6,500 rpm's with no problems. just didn't know that the cam was being eaten away by the broken lifter. engine comes out tonight and if possible i'll check for damage before i leave for our spring break trip. next week when i get back i'll start on the repairs. i'll post the results.
ryan, i may try to send pictures to you to see if you can post here.
