High RPM Roller Cam Startup Guidelines

Pre prime the engine oiling channels with high zinc break in oil using an oil pump drive tool prior to startup. This competition crate engine is not engineered for marine bilge setups, forced induction boost exceeding six PSI on stock ring end gaps, or unmetered nitrous oxide systems.

• Drain break in oil and replace the spin on lube filter after the first 500 operating miles.
• Perform regular motor oil changes every 3000 miles or six months with high zinc synthetic oil.
• Inspect ignition timing advance and check spark plug coloration every 6000 street miles.
