Hey I need some help, Im wondering what is the best way to prepare these lifters to go into my engine, should i pump them up with oil, or what? also I bought a fm 475 cam and I am wondering how you break these things in?

Also , what kind of lube should I use on the cam?

 

Would I just hold it at a higher RPM for a while? HELP

 

Lube the cam heavily with assembly lube, fill lifters with oil, and if you want to get really good, undo your timing belt and run your oil pump with a drill of the intermediate shaft. DO NOT hold an engine at one RPM, rev it. There is no "break in" on a cam. I assume you got roller rockers? These are a lot less picky about lube, but initial friction is still important (not to have).

 

Okay cool, we are done with the car, and it runs good.
