CWL said: (quoted from post at 08:32:09 03/17/09) I had a cam go bad in a 400ci ford. The motor is a low mile rebuild. Less than 5000 miles. I have taken it apart cleaned and now I am putting it back together. There was a lot of metal through the engine so I took it down to the bare block and pressure washed it all out including the oil galleys. New cam and lifters, main and rod bearings and a new oil pump have been installed.

I would then change to a quality 10w-30 detergent oil. Are there any pros or cons to using nondetergetn oil for the break in?
