Question on Cam Break in.....
There have been several threads and polls recently about proper cam break in and cam failures. What about new cars? Car manufactureres used to encourage a 500 mile "break in period" in the manual, but the last couple of new cars I have bought (GM's) did not make any mention of a break in period.
What is the difference between a new car cam and an aftermarket cam that you have to break in the aftermarket?

I know that alot of new cars are running roller cams so break in is not important. As for flat tappet cams after about 20 minutes they are seated.
