Reply to "Cam Running in procedure"

Go on YouTube, there are a ton of videos that discuss cam lobe failures over the last 10-15 years. Some say they will never use a flat tappet cam ever again because they believe the cam cores, lifters and materials are the cause of the failures because they come from China. Other say get US based cams and lifters and make sure the lifters rotate in the lifter bores is critical.  Also there are manufacturers that have different lobe finishes or maybe it materials that are significantly better. I recall Comp Cams is one of them that makes higher qualify cams.

Terms to search: Cam Failures, how to break in your cam, etc.

Here's one of the videos to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPpFOAd2mGw
