Hi Ken,

 

I always use what comes with the new cam or what the cam manufacture
recommends.  

 

I always put parts back the way they come off even nuts and boltz. That's
good work Ken!

Larry,

 

    I have a parts organizer for the rockers, push rods, and lifters, so I
can put them all back whence they came.

 

    Whick lube would you use?

 

Ken

Hi Ken,

You most likely do not need to use the lube, but I would. It will not cause
any harm. You did nark the lifters to back in the same hole...right?

I have taken a good look inside a low miles Cleveland that set for over a
year.  I pulled the cam out to find out what it is, and measure the lobes,
and am putting it all back together now.  It has 1000+ miles on what appears
to be a good quality rebuild with some nice parts. 
 
Do I need to use break in cam lube on the cam?  It's a Comp Cams 292H
hydraulic lifter cam and is suppose to be 2500 to 6500 RPM.
 
Thanks,
 
Ken
