I had a cam go bad in a 400ci ford. The motor is a low mile rebuild. Less than 5000 miles. I have taken it apart cleaned and now I am putting it back together. There was a lot of metal through the engine so I took it down to the bare block and pressure washed it all out including the oil galleys. New cam and lifters, main and rod bearings and a new oil pump have been installed. I have been advised to use 30wt nondetergent oil for the cam break in and maybe for the first 50-100 miles to flush out any metal that I might have missed. I would then change to a quality 10w-30 detergent oil. Are there any pros or cons to using nondetergetn oil for the break in?
