Server Upgrade coming

LMFAO I have never heard this.
"Front driven dists are not 'loaded' like rear mounted dists where the valve springs acting on the cam acts as somewhat of a damper.

Depending on how much slop you have in the dist drive, you can get a few degrees variation.

Dist drive wear areas:
- dist shaft tongue
- timing chain
- cam/oil pump drive gear wear/mesh" @halifaxhops , @Mattax
