OT, I would confirm the lifters are free to rotate (Hughes "thunk" test) & the usual stuff that you are aware of more than I am, mixture/timing/immediate startup/goosing the throttle. They spin freely since I had to ream each one to fit and it will start with the EFI... I pre set the timing 36* before firing then check it... and I'll take it up to 2000 rpm and move it around some.... they all slide nicely... all at .0015 clearance EDIT plus these have the .012 EDM hole and light weight lifters

I broke my solid flat tappet in with Joe Gibbs break in oil + Lucas Zinc additive. Also only on the outer valve springs of a double set. I regularly run Lucas Hot Rod 10w-30, with the same zinc additive. Change the oil once a year.
6 years, a few thousand street miles, and well over a hundred passes and I've had zero cam issues.

Depending on the cam lube used, another thing ive seen people do it put it on the sides of the lifters where they contact the lifter bores. BIG no no alot of that stuff is to ADD friction so the lifters do not slide on the cam lobes.
Mopar to the bone!!!

I don't have a flat tapped but used Lucas 30wt. Got a 2.5 gallon jug of it. Seemed like the rings seated on the first drive. This is just a cam change... engine has about 850 miles on it but the tight LSA didnt like the EFI or should I say it the other way around Mike, Why didn't you go with a wider LSA roller grind? I know there isn't much to choose from in the catalogs, but if I find one that suits the combination, but has a tight LSA, I'll call them and have one ground wider. Comp can usually turn one of these around in a couple weeks, and then the lobe failure worries go away. Just a thought, since you are already set up for a roller.

I used Lucas, it was more available than the Gibbs Driven. I've heard lots of good things about the Gibbs

I didnt like a few things on the Comp lifters.. the edm hole is .026.. too big when I got warm my oil pressure was lower than I like plus I PR oil... lots of built in losses.. the edm hole in the Hughes is .012

The last couple flat tappet this is what I used with great results. I don't think it would hurt to run it all the time.. maybe lose a few horsepower but sure would be good for the cam

I used Lucas, it was more available than the Gibbs Driven. I've heard lots of good things about the Gibbs I've been looking around what is out there local... I can get the Lucas break in oil local... I'll look some more to see if Gibbs is easy to get.... now ... with these break in oils do you add any more zinc... or is too much zinc bad thanks guys
