Who to trust? They both have no money...
Friend wanted me to post
Start the engine and run it at 1500-2000 rpm for about 20 minutes to allow the cam and lifters to behin to wear into each other. Idling should be avoided during this period to prevent cam and lifter failure because during idle less oil is thrown off the connecting rod journals onto the cylinder walls, cam, and other parts that require critical lubrication.

I thought there was no need for this with roller lifters
