Cam tower restrictors - Good for break in?
Not that I'm at the point for the initial 20 minute break in run yet, but was reading Waynes break in procedures tonight and thought the following:
If the first 20 minutes at 2K RPM are when the rockers and cam form their wear pattern, then they will probably benefit from the greatest amount of oil possible at this curcial time.
I wanted to perform the cam tower restriction upgrade while I'm building the engine, but was thinking if the cams and rockers will benefit from more oil during this break in, is it better to keep the larger (original) cam line fittings and perform the upgrade at a later time when the cams/rockers are fully broken in?
I know, I've heard the stories of guys who've run thir engine w/ the valve covers off and have seen 'plenty of oil' and I'm sure if Porsche suggested this upgrade, its probably fine. Just curious if this is the right time to perform this upgrade.
Thoughts?
