Hi.

Same thing happened to me regarding running in the cam: The headers got so hot that the boots and jacket on the wires melted. Actually, the headers were glowing hot at 2000 rpm, so something was obviously wrong....
And guess what? The head gasket on that side of the engine had been mounted the wrong way around. So, no water circulation. It meant a ruined solid cam and lifters.
After this I changed to roller cam, to get rid of the run- in procedure.

Let's hope you don't have the same problem....
