New Cam

[64cubed]

Well this is my second cam on a fresh 440 build. First one made a bit too much cylinder pressure for pump gas.So after quite a few obstacles I was planning on firing it up Sunday. All that was left Saturday night was the valley pan which I had painted hemi orange. Put some rtv on the heads grabbed the pan started to put it on and it was quickly apparent it was a 383 pan. Man that sucked. Didn't even care that it was 25.00 bucks wasted just bummed the start up was delayed.No one locally had a gasket set.
So no start up till Wednesday night at the earliest. Anyone else here get a bit nervous when breaking in a new cam?
Thanks Ron for all the help

  Pull the spark plugs. Screw in an aftermarket oil pressure gauge, grab a 3/8" drill, with the priming shaft spinning COUNTER-clockwise, have someone w/ the socket wrench turn the 1-1/2" crank shaft nut clockwise a few turns. You should see 90 lbs. of oil pressure. When it fires up, run it at mid range rpm's for at least 4-5 minutes, don't "idle" your cam during its break in period.  Dude

make sure you have a high ZDDP additive in your oil or run race formulated oil in your breakin.  telling, better to be safe then sor... well, replacing the cam again.
