Attarco!! Please Read!!
i thought our attarco head was doing fine on our '86 4x4 xtra cab pickup...which it is...but we guess they sent us a cam for a 22RE...because the lobes on the cam are worn about 1/4 in..(theres a lip on the very outside edge of the cam to prove this..pics WILL COME)..so we have to pull the head bolts..which means NEW GASKET...which means $$$$$$$$$...so..this time...im thinking of MAYBE building this head...OS valves...cam from LCE..by the way...which would be the best cam for the MOST improvement over stock in terms of HP/TQ/and MPG's..thanks for any info..and please..if you have an attarco head..please remove your valve cover IMEDIATELY!..and check your cam for wear...

nothing was over tightened...but for some reason..we had to adjust the lifters almost ALL the way out..if we had adjusted them out anymore..then they would have stripped off thereselves..never said it had to do anything with the head...but with the cam that came with it..

what is the proper break in procedure for the cam?..because our "mechanic" just put everything together..and said..there ya go..go see how it drives...he did something to the timing to break something in..but i cant remember what..

well we let it sit and idle for probably 20 mins or so..while we set the timing..and checked various other things..as for the rest of it...no..lol...

Just to say someone else says the same thing YOU DO LET IT IDLE!!! and RPMS on that idle depend on the motor your working on!

it says no where in there to let it idle during break in..
the links info is correct though, keep the motor reved up to or around 2,000 rpm's for 20min. the point of that is to get good oil flow to the top end during break in!
