Have the engine in the BJ7 and am ready for the initial start-up. What is the proper method for initial start-up that will not damage the cam?
I rebuilt the engine in my MGA last year and was advised to insure that the lifters and cam lobes were well lubricated, then to start the engine and maintain 2000-2200 rprm for 20-25 minutes. Apparently it is very important that this rpm rating be maintained in order to keep the lifters from beating the cam lobes.
Is this the same for the 6 cylinder Healey engine. Thanks for any/all input.
Cheers,
Ray
