when I first got the truck I have now I installed a comp 268h cam in it. It worked great, good power range and decent fuel mileage. I hang out with a lot of guys that build race cars and got the idea to install a larger cam. It works good on the street and sounds really cool but the other day I found out that it really sucks on the trail. the truck really needs a higher stall for it to idle right in gear and it just sucks offroad. well a guy I work with is wanting to build a budget motor and offered to trade me a new core support with good trim and headlight bezels for the cam that is in my motor now. I decided that would be a good idea and I can put the comp cam back in my truck.
my question is would reusing this cam hurt anything? I have all the lifters in the boxes marked as to which valve they go with so I can put them all back. the cam and lifters have hardly any wear on them so I figured it would be ok.
also would I need break in lube or to "break in" the cam since its already been ran in the motor?
If this would pose a problem can pick up a new cam and lifter set but would prefer to just use the one Ive got. thanks for the help.
