What is the main benefit of the precisely milled oil metering band?

The oil metering band is milled to an exact depth to prevent too much oil from being delivered to the top of the engine. This helps maintain proper lubrication without over-saturation.

Why is the lifter face ground to a precise radius?

Grinding the lifter face to a precise radius is crucial for proper camshaft break-in. This ensures the lifter and camshaft wear in correctly, leading to a longer lifespan for both components.

Do these lifters come with any special break-in oil recommendations?

While these lifters are designed for proper break-in, COMP Cams recommends using a high-zinc break-in oil additive or a dedicated break-in oil. Always consult your camshaft manufacturer's specific break-in procedure.
