I forgot something else. If you put a new cam and lifters in the engine,
you should bed these in first before you go driving.
The procedure is 2,000 - 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes as soon as
possible after first starting. (but after you check for oil, water leaks!)
Then you can run it in by driving the car under load at <= 4000 rpm
