Getting ready to finish my 340 assembly. for breaking the cam in I was thinking about using the low ratio factory rockers, then after break in install the inner springs and my adjustable rockers. Is this a good idea??
sorry its a hydraulic COMP XE284is it a solid cam or hydraulic? if it is a solid lifter cam you must set valve lash.
the short block has around 1500-2000 miles on it. i pulled the heads and had some work done to them, changed the cam, lifters, springs, intake and carb. i'm using Joe Gibbs breakin oilOutstanding on both.More importantly,what oil on break in.And is this a new engine build?
just MP thin gaskets .024 compressed i believe, and .030 milled off the heads..by the way your dart looks bad ***!!!unless you have something crazy going with milling on heads or block your right on track. that'll be the best bet for breaking the cam. wouldn't hurt to check the lifter preload before you fire it up but you sound like you have it under control
