Using Break-In Oil on Freshly Built Head? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Never heard of that. Hmmm. If you find evidence from any other manufacturer than Brian Crower I might be tempted to believe it. But it sounds like a joke to me given that the camshaft is not intended to generate a wear pattern. The proof is that you can swap them from engine to engine, valve to valve, rocker to rocker, without consequence.

I could be wrong but I think whoever wrote that about BC 'break in additive' was not an engineer, and trying to sound 'smart' by giving potential misinformation.

I'd go out on a limb and suggest you try contacting greddy, hks, those name brands in effort to establish what they recommend for new camshafts.
If for no other reason than to gain a reference point of view.
