Just a note for anyone thinking of doing this, Remember , there is no break-in with a roller cam. Install it and go.

INSTALLED GM CAM AND TRUCK RUNS MUCH SMOTHER/ BY THE WAY THE COMP 252 I TOOK OUT HAD 3 LOBES WIPED OUT. ONLY HAD 6000 MILES ON IT. WENT WITH THE GM 350/ 300 CRATE MOTOR CAM . USED ALL GM LIFTERS AND MELONIZED DIST GEAR. BROKE IT IN WITH EOS LUBE. HOPE THIS ONE WORKS OUT. HAS MUCH MORE POWER THAN THE COMP 252 AND IS MUCH SMOOTHER.

That really sucks! I put in a bottle of EOS now with every oil change. But I only do an oil change once a year in the spring as I drive my truck a couple thousand miles a year at best.
