On a new cam installation I use the the installation lube that comes from the manufacture or comp cams #159 all over the cam and on the bottoms only of the new lifters. A high quality oil, I use Brad Penn break in oil is dumped in the oil pan along with a full bottle of CC #159. Prime engine right before starting it. Find TDC and install distributor in proper location so you can start the engine immediately instead of harmful cranking. When it starts raise the rpm to the proper break-in lever and run the recommended time. I have done this with countless engines and never removed the inner valve spring and never lost a cam. I restart the engine usually the next day and repeat run-in before changing out the oil. Every oil change after that is Brad Penn 10-30 oil and one bottle of Comp cams #159 break-in lube. Good-luck.
