What is the recommended break-in procedure for this camshaft?

It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's specific break-in procedure for this camshaft. This typically involves running the engine at a specific RPM range for a set period immediately after installation to properly seat the flat tappets and prevent damage.

Does this camshaft require special oil?

Yes, flat tappet camshafts like this one often require oil with a higher zinc content (ZDDP) than many modern oils provide. Using oil with adequate ZDDP is essential to prevent premature wear on the camshaft lobes and lifters.

What other parts might I need when installing this camshaft?

When replacing a camshaft, it's common practice to also replace valve springs, lifters, pushrods, and timing sets to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Inspecting the valve guides and seals is also recommended.

Product Details

This is the COMP Cams High Energy camshaft, part number 20-210-2, designed for Chrysler's LA series engines. It's a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft that fits a wide range of vehicles from the mid-60s through the early 90s, including popular models like the Dodge Challenger, Plymouth Duster, and Chrysler Cordoba, all equipped with 273, 318, 340, or 360 cubic inch engines.

This camshaft offers a noticeable bump in performance, especially for 360 4-barrel applications in medium to heavy-duty trucks, and also works well for 318 engines that have power brakes and air conditioning. The 212/212 duration at .050 lift provides improved throttle response and power without being overly aggressive for street use. It's a well-built component that can make a significant difference in how your classic Mopar performs.

When installing a camshaft like this, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure to ensure proper lubrication and seating of the flat tappets. You'll also want to ensure your oil has the correct zinc content, as many modern oils have reduced levels that can be detrimental to older flat tappet camshafts.
