when I put my cam in... I just drove around for ~30 miles, changed the oil while it was hot (I used regular oil then switched to synthetic again after), and put fresh oil in. Drove around for another 25 miles or so and it was ready to go WOT

From what I've heard Hydraulic cams don't really need to be broken in... which is why buying a used hydraulic cam is no big deal... Now if the cam develops a wear pattern... then I'd be worried about the bearings...
