Brian.
topped her off this morning.Great advice.
I have that little voice saying you didn't break in the cam right but I did have her run between 1500-3000 rpms (mostly 2000-3000) for a half hour so I guess I should ignore the voice

They do eventually (that's what "adaptive" means) but you might have some lumpy running and low mpg in the meantime.

I'm in the final stages of my own reassembly, and I noticed that there is a slight difference between the two idler wheels for the serpentine belt but I forgot to mark them when I disassembled. I don't know if this difference is critical in any way. Do you have any guidance you can share?

smaller one goes under the tensioner assembly and larger one goes under the AC compressor

So Charlie I had to post this video. I was bored out of my gourd breaking in the cam and lifters. It made me think of the video spraying brake clean to find a vacume leak

I thought you said that there were 2 different size ones and you needed to know which one went where because you didn't keep track

No, I said there was a slight difference. I didn't say size. One of them has a grommet/washer behind it, and the rotating mechanism is slightly different between the two of him. They appear to be exactly the same diameter though.

So I'm assuming when I moved the condenser around to remove the old cam and install the new one, I created a leak. The AC clutch is not engaging. I did the check for error codes on the HVAC display and none are listed. Shouldn't I have a low refrigerant error?
