Default Breaking in new cams

Hi

I did a search, but it offered more questions than answers.

I have just installed some Toda C cams and want to know how to break them in?
I know normal cams are run in at about 2000rpm for about 20 minutes, but I can't find any information on the Toda cams.
Thanks

With the Toda C's, I would keep it revved for the first 500 miles just to be on the safe side. Don't let it idle any longer than necessary.

not really a break in required...cams are cams...just make sure you set the valve lash correctly and don;t leave it loose...can snap your timing belt or damage your tensioner pulley.
