Putting a new cam in my 360

Coated the cam, lifters, etc in the oil additive, made sure there was plenty of oil in the valley, etc. and then primed the system to get things pumping before firing, then running at 2k rpm for about 20 minutes.

It sounds like I was lax on the break-in procedure.

It sounds like you covered the bases, just didn't use the assembly lube to slick it up until the oil got to it.

Varying the RPM's like Lustle referred to is best.
