Re: Attempting my first build 72 K5

If this motor doesn't have roller lifters, you need to stop starting it up for theses short periods and. You need to start it up and get the rpm's up to 2000 and keep it there for 20 minutes, or you will flatten that cam. Continued short runs won't allow the break in lube to do its job on the lobes. That first start up is critical to the longivity of a flat tapper cam.
