      engine assembly

      OK, my coupe is in paint and don't expect it back for another month or two. During this downtime I've collected my engine parts; AFR165, XE268 hyd tappet, roller rockers, etc. The motor ('68 302, .030+) is recently rebuilt so this will be a bolt-on scenario. Once the coupe gets back I still need to install the new wiring, so I don't expect to have this motor installed, started and broken in and running for another 2-3 mos, possibly as long as 4-5 mos. I want to take this downtime to fully assemble the motor. Will this long wait period be detrimental to breaking in the camshaft? Everything will be lubed up, but no break-in oil until I drop it in car with the tranny and get ready to start it.
