Hi guys when breaking in my L 79 cam I have bought double springs..I have read to run my old springs or take the middle spring out of the new doubles ,till I have broke in my cam for 20.30 mins...then put new doubles in...and adjust lash again ..seems alot of work...Has anyone heard of many that at break in go with the double springs at break in and have had no probs..? Thanks again
A few years ago I had a rebuild done on my L72 (427/425) Biscayne.
Prior to starting the engine for the first time, I removed the inner springs. Although it is a daunting task, the extra work involved will save you beaucoup $$$ in the end if you wipe out a cam.
Go the 'extra mile' remove the inners and break in the cam worry free. It's somewhat labour intensive but certainly worth the effort.
