Questions breaking in cam? I just put my 262CompXE cam and we left at 2000 rpm for about 15 minutes. I was wondering how long does it take to break it in so that way I get on it. I even drove around town for about 45 minutes, Is this enough time?

Re: Questions breaking in cam? Assuming this is in an LS1, there was no need to keep the rev's raised for 15 minutes. Its a roller cam. There is no breakin. You put it in, and drive on it. The valve springs are all that need a heat cycle or two.

Re: Questions breaking in cam? Nope. Sorry this is an 82 Firebird w/ 79 350, intake, carb,headers, and now a cam. Thanks for helping. Now all I need is to advance the timing to the right degree.
