for the difference in price of a dedicated break in oil such as Brad Penn, ($5.49 qt) vs say havoline (4.99 qt) or Valvoline ($4.69 qt) I'd spend the extra $2-$5 ($100, where did that come from?) To make sure things go right during the start up of what I know to be a relatively large investment. It may or may not be NEEDED for a STOCK engine, but why take chances? I don't have the money to run engine after engine to failure and then do an autopsy to see if this is true. I can only follow the advice of every cam manufacturer in the world, as well as that of all the major engine builders. And this is all assuming you are actually running a stock cam... Another note, the cam assembly lube lasts one revolution, at least the magic goo from crane cams was wiped smooth clean in one single solitary revolution, I'm assuming there was a microscopic boundary layer, but I'm tellin ya it wasn't much. Thus the reason for not turning the engine with spring pressure on the cam more than the one single solitary revolution I have mentioned before.
