I rebuilt the engine on my '69 sometime in the early 80's, and it still runs great. I used the same Edelbrock kit, but used roller rockers. I remember the same break in steps, this was a nice review.

The Zinc actually has not been removed from the oil, it's just been reduced, it used to be around 1200 parts per million, now most oils only have 600-800. However, there are oils which have a good amount of Zinc still out there. Valvoline Vr1 10W-30 for example has 1300 parts per millon of Zinc, and it's better to buy an oil with an already high amount of Zinc in it than buying an additive.

Hey there, I’m getting close to breaking in my 302s new camshaft it I’m worried about getting it started on my first key turn. How do I stab the distributor for initial firing? Do I stab at 0 degrees or do I stab at where I want my initial? Do I turn it to advance it at all(like I’ve seen talk of 1/4 a turn of the unit) I could really use some help here. Thank you

Thanks as always for your videos! Have you ever changed your cam bearings? Do you just inspect the cam journals and if no damage you are good to go? The don't have a ton of load on them so if you don't damage them taking the cam in and out you are good to go? I know this sounds like such a basic question and funny enough I have actually rebuilt a couple 302s and had new cam bearings put in by machinist but never just a cam change only. Every cam change video I have watched has not really addressed this. Thanks and have a good 'wheelin' season! Hope you keep the Bronco together enough between "how to" videos to enjoy it this summer!

None of this high rpm break-in makes sense. The opposite, low rpm does make sense. No car factory ever breaks in an engine first start, not ever, for over 120 years. Start the engine, drive it to the parking lot, turn it off. How many engines have been stored for 1, 30, 70 years but start and run fine? Abandoned in a field? No lube at all, dry. The cam turns 300 rpm at 600 rpm idle. The lobes are actually pushing the lifters ~1/3 of that, duration of ~120°. So about 100 lifts per minute or 1.7 per second. You can blink or tap your finger thrice as fast, for perspective. This is trivial and breakin grease or even oil is plenty. When you raise the rpm 4 times idle you have increased the velocity at which the lobe approaches the lifter and the speed that the lobe wipes accross the lifter thus increasing friction dramatically. Like starting a fire by twisting a stick on a piece of wood slowly vs very fast. And pump oil pressure from lifter bore and crank slinging takes a few seconds at LOW rpm. A drill or lathe tool with no lube experience much higher pressures and dont dull unless the rpm is very high.

Ridiculous notions - No car manufacturer ever went through these break-in steps...why do you think it necessary? All oils still contain ZDDP and the amount is not important...it works the same no matter the ppm content. These are not lawnmower engines...the cam does NOT get it's oiling from any "splash" effect thus no need for more rpm. In reality most parts are mated from the starter motor alone. Here you will find all the facts you need to understand... 540ratblog.wordpress.com/2013/06/20/motor-oil-wear-test-ranking/
