There's really not a break in for a roller cam-- that procedure is for a
hydraulic cam (non roller)... But it wouldn't hurt.

Hi Bob,
Once you get it cranked up, run the rpm around 1800rpm for a good 20
minutes. I ran mine between 25-30 minutes on both cam break-ins. After
that, you should be good to go, but I did treat my semi-gently for a few
road miles until I felt comfortable with it.
Have FUN!!!

Hi to all you cam swappers,

I'd like to know what method you used to break in a roller cam
after the install? Also, what, if any, precautions you took
when driving after the break in? I thank you for any real-life
inputs.

Bob
