    cam break in oil???

    by tkrmotors » Mon Mar 26, 2007 5:18 pm

    adding a hotcams stage 1 cam to my bike this week and have a couple of questions... hot cams recommends not to use synthetic oil for the break in period...

    #1- why is that??? i'm assuming synthetic is too slick but i don't understand why that would be a bad thing...

    #2- what is a good non synthetic oil to use for break in??? right now i run rotella synthetic in both sides and plan to go back to it as soon as possible...

    thnx!!!

    1. Mating surfaces have to "mate" So, a little wear in is necessary.
    2. Just use Honda GN4, then go back to rotella.
