Let's talk about this a bit more for fun.
During normal operation does the distributor gear "walk up" the cam gear thereby utilizing and loading the thrush washer captured between distributer body and that pinned collar?
If so, then wondering why there is a spec on shaft axial play, why would it matter?
Or does the gear find a path of least resistance so to speak and the 3.045/3.05 zone puts it dead center on the cam gear and it stays there? No thrust involved.
One or the other, both at play some how, just curious.
