It’s not some “Black Magic” learning how to properly break in a solid lifter cam and honestly not that hard. Biggest issue I see is guys can’t get their car started and running fast enough, sometimes because of something stupid like an uncharged battery. Don’t fall into the Trick synthetic oil traps but do use a good oil loaded with zinc. Watch your spring pressure and if in doubt remove the inner spring. Consider EDM lifters as it’s cheap insurance.
