Break it in for 40-50 miles, change oil, and filter. and send it. Race engine, street engine, or daily driver. |
Lubriplate make fantastic greases. I have seen their 1242 end bearing problems in industry. One guy even used it on a air cooled VW engines cam for break in and it worked.
My dad broke cams in with STP.
In High School I broke in Erson cam in my GTO with Sta-Lube White Grease and it worked just fine.
