Re: break in for cam, 918's, and new rods? No you don't have to break anything in. Just make sure that everything is running right and sounds right. If everything checks out, drop the hammer!

Just bring the car up to operating temps and then it cool off for awhile. After doing this a few times, you are ready to roll!

Re: break in for cam, 918's, and new rods? When I did my cam and springs only install, I gave it 2 heat cycles in the driveway and for the third a short easy cruise to listen for anything unusal. Then I stopped at Cecil as it was kinda on the way home. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
