cam
If it's a flat tappet cam,I like to vary the rpm's and not let it stay in the same rpm range for a long period of time 1800 to 2500 or so.I if it's a solid roller,5 minutes bring up to temp,shut it down and check fluid levels,look for leaks and reset lash and timing.then straight to the race track.!!!!LOL

Dont forget to take the long bolt that holds the fuel pump rod in place and install the short bolt as a plug to prevent oil from spraying out the front of the block. learned that one the sucky way.
