I have a Hydraulic Roller lifters and that doesn’t need too much oil like the normal flat tappets.
Even they don’t need to have a brake-in period.

This engine will not a full race and just will produce 405 HP with lots of torque.

I don’t think that is needed to go so dip in the valley also because I have a mild cam, when the combo is based in some radical cam that introduce a lot of friction at the flat tappets and the cam, in that case we should consider the soothing of the valley.

Best regards,

Well done, looks like a real strong torquey motor you built there.:thumb:
