Tech Tip:

• Flat tappet cams (hyd. or solid lifter) require to be broken in for the first 30 minutes of operation at 2000 rpm. During this time do not let the engine idle. If adjustments are required during this break-in period, you must shut the engine down completely. If using a spring with over 130 lbs. seat (or over 330 open), you should remove the inner spring during break-in.
• When checking for valve spring coil bind, also check for retainer to valve guide clearance. There should be a minimum of .150? clearance between the guide (or valve seal if used) and the retainer.

ATTENTION!! IMPORTANT WARRANTY INFORMATION ON ALL HERBERT FLAT TAPPET CAMS.

Race flat tappet cams (more that .500 lift on small blocks & more than .550 lift on big blocks) only carry a warranty to be free from defects in materials and workmanship, they do NOT carry any guarantee against wear due to the extreme usage of racing.
