Hello i got a SkyTeam Monkey 125 and the engine was taken out for the larger Lifan 150cc motor. Recently i bought a z-40 camshaft kit of EBay ( for 30sh euro) and it came with exhaust and intake springs, cam spocket and the cam itself. i know i got to change one bearing on the camshaft. The problem is what springs to use? Because its a daily driver i want it to be bulletproof without worrying that a valve spring would bind or crack. Now i got the stock springs and cam on it and i got reinforced Kitaco crf50 springs but they look to have too little space to compress for the 6.8m lift camshaft? Or am i wrong? And the springs that came inte the kit are chinese made springs and i dont trust them to 100%.
so i need help to chose what springs i should put in. Stock? kitaco 12v crf50 springs? Or chinese YX140 Z-40 springs?

And when i have chosen my springs and put everything togeather how should i Break in my camshaft? Or dö i have to? And should i use first Non Synthetic motor oil with Added Zink? For the first 200km or so?
Thanks!

The Z-40 is meant for engines around 140cc and has

duration @ 0.050" lift
intake 230 (5 btdc - 45 abdc)
exhaust 230 (35 bbdc - 15 atdc)
max lift 6,9mm in. and ex.
Overlap 17 deg

Stock Lifan 150 cam has around 5.68mm lift what i can measure with micrometer?
Anyone who can confirm that the Z-40 cam will increase power? The Z-40 should be same cam as BCI Mega Cam right but with lifan sprocket and bearing?
