Flat tappet camshaft or hydraulic roller (and new or used camshaft?)
New flat tappet cam and oil subject is all over - make sure to use something with a good load of ZDDP (Zinc) - I broke my last one in on Castrol HD30 and a bottle of comp cam's break-in lube...

A break-in oil is simply one with a big dose of anti-wear additives and good detergency. ZDDP etc...you want to minimize initial wear get the seals to seal etc...it's for rollers and non-roller cams...
Since you are going to use Royal Purple...(good choice) use this for break-in...20 hours then Switch to 20W-50 RP.
