I believe if they are used, just drop in and go. New cams require a break in. I could be wrong though about the used cams.

how would you go about breaking in a vvl cam tho? would you first brake in the low lobe, then activate the high lobes at like 1500 then brake them in just like the low lobes?

Don't worry about it just drive em they will be perfect! If you can use assembly lube on them when you install them though.
