Must now remove inner valve springs for cam break-in, really?
There goes my schedule for getting my truck back together!
This will be slow to do, access to the heads is not great.
Pretty mild cam, Comp #12-230-2
.432/.444 gross lift on a 110 center.
Never had to go to such lengths before.
I know the newer oils are crap, but I did pay $21.00 for Lucas break-in additive.
The only brand available without having to wait another three days.
So it looks like I have to bring each piston to TDC, remove the inner spring, then reassemble, eight times.
Then run-in the cam before repeating the chore a second time to put the inner springs back.
And some folk think Lotus or Alfa Romeo engines are a pain!
