I know I got a lot of questions, but it's been a while since I've been through putting a new engine into service.
Cam is ISKY, Grind S-974 I got from John Mummert

Oddly enough, ISKY does not provide any info on either procedure or lube for break in in the cam literature

The next question is about break in oil (I think I got the procedure). I was thinking about a good grade of 10-40 or 20-50, probably Castrol GTX .  The last engine I had to break in was the 312 in my 54 and I used one or the other and the GM break in additive (still available?).  Any other recommendations

Thanks for any help
