Any Cam Break In Procedures needed for a Torquer V3?

Hey guys,

Is there any break in processes required for a Torquer V3? I think i read that only flat-tappet styled cams really need to be broken in, and that hyrdaulic roller cams can pretty much be dropped in and abused. I just wanted to double check if I need to break it in, or quickly change the oil after it's install or anything.

Thanks

I always change the oil after 20 miles or so and cut open the filter just to be safe, but other than that you should be good to go

yea, roller cams dont need to be broken in, but its a good idea to run it for about 100 miles and cut the filter open to be on the safe side.
