...everything was completely coating in break in lube....




That right there seems to be a problem to me. Is this a flat-tappet hydraulic cam? You only want to coat the lobes of the cam, & the face of the lifters. I would think that coating those things in thick assembly lube would inhibit the flow of oil into the lifters... anyone else agree?

Plus, I've heard of instances where the thickness of the lube would keep the lifters from rotating, and lead to a wiped cam
