Comp cams

goinbroke2 · 05-30-2025, 08:04 PM

Last year I broke in my stocker cam with a set of new comp lifters. I put lots of cam lube, put springs that were 50# or so on the seat then made sure it fired within the first couple revolutions. Ran for 45 minutes between 2000 and 2500. Let it cool, installed the big springs and no issues. Lots of horror stories so I was super paranoid and made sure everything was perfect before I hit the key.

Not saying it's right or wrong or even if comp lifters are good/bad. I am saying, if I had a new set of lifters, I would run them with the aforementioned precautions.

My $.75 Canadian ($.02 US)
