I ordered a trick flow stage 1 cam and it didn't come with break in instructions so I called trick flow and they said that hydrolic roller cams doen't require any break in at all. I've never heard of this, Is it true. also what assembly lube should I use?

yes its true, trickflow is correct that you dont have to break it in cause its a roller cam.

My TFS1 didnt come with any lube, I did however use STP engine treatment, it is realy thick and sticks to parts well. My buds and I have used this always when installing/building stuff. We asked several engine builders in the erea and they all said that it would work fine and one even said that it is what he uses instead of assem. lube. It is realy,realy thick stuff that is like honey only thicker.
