That's a fantastic idea.

I have a personal gripe about the Fram oil filter (probably wouldn't matter since they should change the break in oil each time)

I spoted that and had a good laugh as well. Its also nice that they wren't thinking about us I6 guys. Maybe someday they'll build one that can break an inline engine in.

Interesting. I always hate breaking the cam in.

Where does it say it won't accommodate an I6 cam? The machine does looka bit small, but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

I called them today. The machine can't do an Inline 6.

You could always just use an extra engine block and valve train with weak valve springs and drive it with an electric motor to break in your cam. It'll do the same thing as the CamKing2000, you could even put it in a purple case if you'd like to.
