Don and all,
    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on the list  or not, but I was 
recently made aware that the break-in lube should be applied  to the lobes and 
lifter faces. It seems that the heavy viscosity of the break-in  lube can 
impair the rotation of the lifter during the critical break-in period.  I know this 
piece of information will change my procedure, as I usually slobber  
everything in the stuff thinking if a little was good, a bunch would be  better....so 
much for that philosophy. Anyway, lots of oil on the sides,  assembly lube on 
the lifter face. 
    Obviously, a cam failure several thousand miles  later is another matter, 
but hopefully those of us that only do a motor  once in a while can keep from 
wiping a lobe in the break-in. Those that build  several motors a year 
probably already know this. One more item, the fuel pump  rod must be treated the 
same as the rest of the lifters...Lord knows these rods  seem to wear down 
frequently(wondering if the over application of break-in lube  may have inhibited 
it's rotation).
    Hope this helps, Dan Jenks
