I've been finding and reading a lot on proper break-in procedures regarding
cams but I'm finding virtually nothing on what symptoms would exist if the
cam wasn't broke in properly. Are there any indicators which would indicate
an improperly broken in cam? Loss of power, inspection of plugs, etc?

Thanks,

Bill
