    Very helpful video ! I have one more question, I have a vw waterboxer (wbx) and the tapered angle of the lobe is worn the other way around. What normal is the high side of the lobe now is the low side. Also the flat tappet (hydraulic) is in the middle lower (0.04mm) a new one has a crown and in the middle higher I think. Is this a normal thing ? And best to replace both of them ?

    The spark gap has an ionization potential that depends only on the width of the gap. That's the height of the fence that the spark must jump, so they will all be the same as long as they can ionize the gap. Widening the gap tests the maximum voltage that the trigger and coil can reach.

    I do not understand the lack of feedback for a great video. To make the effort to film and share knowledge and experience about flat tappet cam failure cannot be understated. The information was to the point and the reasons for the cam failure were clearly explained. It is not just the failure of the camshaft itself, but all the finely ground metal dispersed throughout the engine. Thank you for sharing your expertise on this subject.

    I think the mobilec should have afitting over the cam which has 4 or 6 strip magnets and there was a plastic feeler gauge to set it up. On a rebushed distributor with little or no wear these were brilliant. The problem was if there was too much spindle bush wear or incorrect gap adjustment the pickup got wiped out. Spindle wear did not affect the luminition as it was optical and so became the ignition of choice. In my opinion not the best performer but far more tolerant to wear and so more reliable.
