Valvetrain break in.
Just as the title says. After installing a new cam and new valves do you need to brake the parts in slow to prevent damage? Also when braking in other parts such as a turbo or lower rotating assembly is it better to use a none synthetic oil to allow the parts to wear properly?

I just give it a couple hours of really easy driving. Then let it sit untill its totally cold. I believe after one heat cycle you are good to go. I think if anything needs break in its the valve springs.
