Modern oils lack certain chemicals that were used with flat tappet cams. This is because most modern engines have roller lifters, that do not need these chemicals - like zinc & manganese.

Time marches on . . . and generally that’s a good thing. But unfortunately, over time, some of the good stuff can get left behind. COMP Cams® Engine Break-In Oil Additive brings back the good stuff, delivering a specially engineered blend of extreme pressure break-in additives that have been removed from current off-the-shelf motor oils. Delivering added protection during the break-in process and beyond for all engine components, including the camshaft and lifters, COMP Cams® Engine Break-in Oil Additive is compatible with any petroleum, synthetic or blended motor oil.

COMP Cams® Engine Break-In Oil Additive extends the durability of internal engine components, protecting against premature camshaft, lifter and valve train failure. Best of all, COMP Cams® Engine Break-In Oil Additive has proven to deliver long term benefits with new or rebuilt engines through continued usage. Simply pour in a bottle for initial break-in, run the engine for approximately 1,000 miles, drain the system thoroughly and then refill with clean oil and another bottle of COMP Cams® Engine Break-In Oil Additive at each oil change. Part PP-BY159 is a 12 oz bottle of engine break in lubricant.

Making certain that the camshaft and lifters are properly lubricated upon installation will guarantee that they are protected during the critical start-up of your newly-built engine. COMP Cams® offers the right product for this job PP-BY153, and it is available in several different size containers for engine builder convenience. Even more importantly, we strongly recommend the use of COMP Cams® Break-In Oil Additive PP-BY159 during the break-in. While this additive was originally developed specifically for break-in protection, subsequent testing has proven the durability benefits of its long term use. This proprietary blend of anti-wear and extreme pressure additives promotes proper break-in and protects against premature cam and lifter failure by replacing some of the beneficial ingredients that the oil companies have been forced to remove from off-the-shelf oil. These specialized COMP Cams® lubricants are the best “insurance policy” you can buy and are the first step to avoiding durability problems with your new flat tappet camshaft.
