Im installing my 272/272 cams tomorrow, and Im wondering if there should be a break in period ?

 

no

 

Thanks....I was curious cuz myself i didnt think so, but I was told by someone else I would....

 

well i put my cams in a turbotrix and after the tune and cams we basiclly beat the **** out of the car aoround the block a couple of times

 

i didnt break in my cams when i put them in, i got 272/272 buddy clubs and as soon as i had checked my oil level after the install me and a couple friends went and beat it like a red headed step child around the nieghborhood

 

Nice lol

 

yaaah i drove mine with some short burts of acceleration to fill my lifters back up then took it for a beat run

 

well technically cam's arent wear items... if they were, we would have some serious issues :]

 

I've never cammed an Evo, but with other cars I've always driven relatively mildly for ~100-200 miles just to let everything seat nicely. YMMV

 

ever since i put 272s in my car breaks up around 5.5k. solution..a tune

 

Yes there should be a break in period here is how u do it after install
1 get ready for ur head to fly back into the seat
2 get ready for the bigest smile of all time
3 make sure u don't crap your self because this evo will be a hole new beast
4 realize how lucky u are to own a evo

that is it good luck with them there a blast to have makes the evo a new beast

 

this thread is over a year and a half old

 

I don't know about Japanese cars, but with American cars a lot of people advise applying a cam breakin lube such as, Comp Cams Breakin Lube, or TORCO MPZ assembly lube to the lobe faces and bearing surfaces. I'd think that dry startup is critical as damage can occur in the moments before the oil pump fills the filter and pumps oil up into the head. Maybe I'm just a worry wart though!

 

I wonder if OP's cams are broken in by now. We need an update!!!
