Flat cam lobe, what cam now

The lube I used was permatex ultra slick. It was the thickest and stickiest kind i could fined, I made an oil shaft priming pump to prime oil as well....and yes it did take a little to get it started.

As to the roller cam, yes that would totally be a better option and solve the worries of it happening again, but the money it would cost me for lifters, cam, rockers, and new springs I'm going to put towards my next build
