Pontiaction

I called Comps tech line this afternoon and explained the situation. They gave me the same basic answer that they gave to Wrongway. We recommend you do but.... sounds like a lawyer told them to include this procedure as a way to get out of any warranty issues. Thanks for your input guys, I appreciate it. I'm just going to put it together and break it in like I have many times before. Will shoot you some pictures soon.

Yeah, that's probably what I'll do, it's just such a pain to reinstall the inner springs with the heads installed on the engine. I've built Pontiac engines many years ago and we never went through this procedure and never had any problems. Thanks for the advice.

Is it really necessary to remove the inner valve springs while breaking in a new cam on a freshly rebuilt 400. Im using a Comp xe262 cam (hyd flat ) with iron heads at 80cc 9.5-1 compression with 1.5 roller tip rockers. Nothing crazy, just a nice street engine.
