Interesting, but he completely missed the point that a fundamental part of m=
ost flat tappet engine (BMC A, B, or C series) builds that I know of, is lib=
eral application of your favorite "cam lube" on the cam lobes, followers etc=
.=20
Which is usually a molybdenum disulphide based grease based.=20
E.g. http://iskycams.com/cart/index.php?main_page=3Dproduct_info&products_id=
=3D1809
So the break in/ run in oil is less of an issue in that first 5 - 10 seconds=
 of start up, because the cam lube is on the cam before the oil pump even st=
arts turning...=20
