just had fitted a new standard cam and lifters to my series 1 rst, i'm using mobil 1 motorsport at the mo just wondering if i need to change back to a mineral oil for running the new cam in?

Thanks steve

 

It should be run in with cam lube for 20mins at 3000rpm+pal.

Once that 20mins is over, your done.

 

Stu, i think he is asking what oil to run in the engine as well as the lube you obvioulsy put on the cam when you install them.

I would say normal engine oil for the engine as i wouldnt want to run an engine for 20 mins at 3000rpm on the wrong oil.
Thats what ive always done anyway and never had a problem

 

Nope, i think im right on this occasion chipper old bean





So you just watch me be wrong

 

Stu, are you smoking crack cocaine again?

 

I took this to mean you thought he was "Running in" his engine.

To elaborate slightly on my first reply...
Just run whatever oil you always run on your tuners advice, but make sure its clean, if its not, renew it. As well as your regular oil, also smear the new parts in camlube or camcote. Most importantly, dont let teh revs drop below 2500rpm if possible for the first 20mins of teh cams life

 

PMSL

you got there in the end Stu

 

 

Good sound advice

 

Thanks very much for your extertise.
