If you are running the ALH cam, our opinion is that cam needs additional attention only when it is powered up...not stock. The advantage of using non- detergent,non- synthetic oil is partly price of the product, but also what happens with synthetics is, in a manner, prevention of break-in...
1. Detergent oils are attempting to remove the break-in additives you are trying to get into the metals.
2. There are friction reducers in the synthetics which prevent/delay the break-in process.
Although this thread is specific about cam break-in, we produce many complete engines. The break-in procedure becomes mandatory, as proper ring, main and rod bearing seating is critical. Using proper break-in oils protect the engine at initial startup. The procedure equates to quicker seating and low oil consumption.
Heck, we had a discussion some while back about reusing rings and we stated our reasons for not risking a job like that. Our techniques are time-tested to eliminate potential of failure, not create it! Professionalism is to create an environment of repeatable success. We will continue that approach.
