Michael,

Could you elaborate on what steps you take to =E2=80=A6 =E2=80=9Ccondition
them very c=
arefully on initial start=E2=80=9D.=C2=A0=C2=A0=20
=20
As some-one who is approaching first start-up after rebuild, anything I ca=
n do to help prolong engine life is of interest.

"How did the cam and lifters look (oblique ZDDP reference)?"
Another very good question ...=20
Again completely undamaged. =20
After earlier suffering a serious lifter and cam failure in that engine I =
had taken enormous care to condition them very carefully on initial start up=
with the replacements and used VR1 non synthetic oil exclusively thereafter=
.
This experience and others have me pretty well convinced that lifter/cam pr=
oblems are usually initiated on first start up of a new engine and if they g=
et through the first few minutes of running they will last well.
BTW I've sold all my holdings in Valvoline =F0=9F=A4=A3=F0=9F=A4=A3
