Title: Break-in with tool steel lifters Post by: Jesse/DVK on June 10, 2011, 13:26:25 pm I'm going to break-in my new engine this weekend. I'm running Thorsten Pieper tool steel lifters and I have some questions.
Do I need break-in at all? If not just start it up and than? Cam lube only on the cam or also on the lifters?

Have heard from others that break-in can be done at idle as well:

Assemble as usual ... TxT Title: Re: Break-in with tool steel lifters Post by: BeetleBug on June 10, 2011, 22:36:33 pm Perhaps the lifters don't need break in but what about your cam?
