Cam break in

[Ramnm08]

I've searched with no joy. Can someone tell me how to break in the cam and lifters I just installed? It's in a 2011 Ram 2500. Most of the write ups and videos I found were for flat tappet.

It's a roller cam,doesn't require any break-in.Run a good quality oil like Redline full synthetic,and a good filter,and change oil and filter in 500 miles,if you're worried about it

Did you coat everything with assembly lube? Other then that just run it for 50-100 miles and change the oil.

Awesome. Thanks fellas. I coated everything before install. I'll have to use PUP for now until the redline gets here on Saturday.

Pups way cheaper,and doesn't hurt as much to only run for a 100 miles then dump out,lol

I have a 700 mile trip on Sunday so the redline will definitely be in it by then.
