[Mgs] Oil Article

[Charles & Peggy Robinson]

  Hi Eric,

   I've seen this before on racing cam installation sheets.  A more 
convoluted procedure than the instructions for installing hop-up cams in 
street engines when I ran a hot rod shop but the same Idea for ensuring 
cam longevity. I wonder what the sheets look like that come with roller 
cams.

    In the case of your rebuild was the procedure followed to the 
letter?  Changing those valve springs round is a real PITA.
