I had one lobe go bad on the break-in of my new engine. I don't know the condidtion of the others lobes till I pull the cam.
I'm getting ready to put in a new cam and start over.
My questions are:
Now that there is a bunch of metal in the engine, how do I clean it all out with out dismantleing it completely? What chemicals should i use to flush it as clean as I can get it? Any advice on this will be helpfull since this is a first for me with a completely rebuild engine. If it was and old engine I'd just rinse it with some new oil and hope for the best. I have alot of money tied up in this one though.
I have an idea why the first cam didn't last break in but I'll also double check for these things too.
What "oil" to use with the Comp Cams breakin in stuff?
When it first starts and runs, should it be ran at a steady rpm or should the idle be fluctuated and ran at different speeds? If its steady, what RPM should the enging be turning during the break in?
