X2 add all the zinc you can at break in, cheap chink parts dont help either.


I think anybody that has ever tried to break in a flat tappet cam in anything over the last 10 years has wiped one or more out.
One of the main reasons I switched to roller cams, and maybe even the reason the big '3' switched too> just my 2 cents.
