Re: [tech] Q's on installation of used cam

[Anthony Pelletier <vwnuts@yahoo.com>]

What is this "cam break in" I keep hearing about. 
I've installed maybe 5 cams (not all in my cars) now
and never done this, and not had a problem yet.  I
bougth some shircks used installed them in my rocco
16v, then removed them, and put them in my jetta 2
weeks ago.  No wear signs.  I wasn't aware that you
were supposed to do anything special.

I have pics up at
http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=1711734&f=0
(under jetta cam install)(I got MKI pics there, too)
oh and I probably shouldn't have put the 50mm and cams
in the jetta casue it just rolled 189,000 miles.  But
the car still runs 100%
