Coat each lifter and cam lobe with some sort of high-load grease (NOT chassis 
grease!). I use Isky Cam Lube which looks like a moly-paste but may have 
extra stuff in it as well. Use plenty; most cam lobe/lifter failures occur in the 
1st 5 minutes of running a new cam & lifters. If using stock valves, also use 
a stock cam, lifters & springs, all of   which combine to valve-float at rpms 
below that which normally causes valve failure. Or throw in a rev-limiter set 
to about 5200 rpms and warn your customer not to change chips without 
chaniging all the other stuff.Good luck- J DeRyke
