in memoriam unseres verstorbenen Forenfreunds althase habe ich heute den Stresstest eigener hergestellter Nocken für Gebiss / Impulsauslöser / Auslösekontakte, meines Daumens und meines Gehörs erfolgreich beendet.
while remembering our friend althase who died last week and invented those replacement cams for trigger contacts / points I have produced my own lot now and successfully stress tested them and myself.
Meine neuen Nocken sind im Backofen 15 Minuten bei 100°C getestet und anschließend wollte ich sie auf ein altes Gebiss aus meinem 450SL montieren. Dabei musste ich feststellen, dass die mit Stahlnieten vernietet sind und beim Ausbohren mit dem Dremel ist mir der Bohrer abgerutscht und in den Daumen rein. AUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAA und viel Blut war die Folge.

Aber nachdem der Daumen nicht mehr geschwollen war, habe ich doch 2 Nocken umgerüstet und in den Zündverteiler eingesetzt. Dann habe ich den mit 1500/min 4 Tage lang laufen lassen, bis ich es nicht mehr hören konnte. 3000/min Motorumdrehungen entsprechen so 100 km/h bis 120 km/h., also 2400 bis 2880 km am Tag. Oder aber 10'000 bis 11500 km in 4 Tagen. Das sollte mir als ein Test des Verschleißes genügen. Und der wurde erfolgreich bestanden. Es sind so ca. 0,1 mm weniger geworden. Die Kontakte sollten also wie die originalen ihre 50'000 km oder für viele von uns ein Oldtimerleben halten.

My new cams were tested in oven at 100°C for 15 minutes and then I wanted to install them on my old trigger points of my 450 SL. That's when I had to recognize that old cams are mounted by stell rivets. When removeing those with a drill, I managed to slide off and drill tinto my thumb. OUUUUUCCCCHH and lots of blood
Finally I inserted 2 cams into an ignition distributor (MB V8) and ran them constantly at 1500/min for 4 days until I finally couldn't stand the noise any more. 3000/min engine revolutions correspond to 100 km/h to 120 km/h, meaning 2400 to 2880 km a day resp. 10'000 to 11'500 km in 4 days. That was enough to judge wear. And that was successfully matered. Wear was roughly 0.1 mm meaning that cams would stand roughly 50'000 km with these replacement cams, enough for a whole classic car life.
Ich zeige die neuen Nocken und deren Laufbild am Wochenende beim Workshop.

Mal wieder ein super Projekt von dir.
Irgendwann werde ich mal auf dich zukommen wegen eines Nockensatzes... aber mehr interessehalber. Mit Impulsgebern jeder Bauart in neuem und gebrauchten Zustand bin ich mehr als ausreichend versorgt.
Ich kann mich aber erinnern, dass uns Obelix voriges Jahr auf dem Workshop in Erlangen ein V8-Gebiss zeigte, für das eine Rettung überhaupt nur durch Nockenersatz möglich war.
Gut, dass es diese Option jetzt wieder gibt.
- Ich besitze einen Unterbrecherkontaktsatz mit Nylonnocke. Da sind vorne in der Nocke diagonal haarfeine Einfräsungen vorhanden, die wohl etwas Unterbrecherfett 'speichern' sollen. Ich halte das für eine gute Idee.
Gruß

danke der Wünsche. Das mit dem Schmerz hat lange gedauert. Erst ist der Daumen um 50% angeschwollen. "Nein, ich brauche keine Doktor, bin doch selbst einer"... Dann habe ich den Daumen das Foto gemacht und den Daumen lange nicht mehr eingesetzt. Inzwischen ist alles wieder heile.
Du meinst diagonale Einschnitte diagonal auf der Reibfläche? Die würden aber irgendwann runtergerieben. Besser wäre die Nachrüstung des Schmierfilzes, wo keines drin ist. Da suche ich noch jemanden, der mir den Federstahl entsprechend biegen und zuschneiden kann.
Ach und natürlich bekommst Du welche. Du als unser Dentist musst Ihnen doch auf den Zahn fühlen.

Was den Schmierfilz betrifft, gab es den bei VW / Porsche nie.Kunststoffhauben erst recht nicht.
Eine Nachrüstung stelle ich mir aber nicht so einfach vor - die Ambossplatten der Gebisse mit Schmierfilz haben kleine Nasen, in die Bohrungen der Schmierfilzfeder eingreifen als Verdrehsicherung.

unfortunately my replacement cams and shafts do not fit VW and Porsche. But they fit all other trigger contacts for 4 and 6-cyl engines and 8-cyl anyhow.
Reason is that VW trigger contacts housing is flatter than other trigger contacts. My replacement shafts do not fit in VW / Porsche distributor.
Sorry for that.

I don't agree with Volker in full...
I think you COULD replace the cams without problems.
Volker says, his 'special set' for replacing the bolts isn't useable at the VW-units. That's true...
but I think, it's possible to replace the cams and just remove the washers that are not really needed.
I have two arguments:
- Ignition-points in almost every case don't have such a fixture. They are hold in place by the spring only.
- I own an early unmodified VW unit that doesn't have such a fixture, look at the photo: The left unit doesn't have a fixture.

But I don't think you have to replace your cams. <Send us a good photo, we can evaluate this...>
With cams that are worn out by not more than 0.5 mm till total misfunction, still 2 mm remaining, I think the replacement is superfluous. Readjusting is sufficient.
This is not a car tire that gets worse when wearing out profile, but a switch that switches at a defined - adjustable - cam position. It doesn't matter whether the top of the cam is already a bit worn. Adjusted to the original values, the trigger unit will work like a new unit again.
The claim to be found in the Internet that the rivets would grind on the camshaft of the distributor if the cams are worn too much is wrong.
Anyone who uses my tool - which simulates the camshaft-ground - could see that this is not true, cannot happen at all because the rivet can never reach and touch the camshaft.
Set your points using my tool to the value I specified, and with a sensible lubrication with breaker-points-grease, this will run as long as a new one again until you have problems with it.
It doesn't matter whether the contact amboss lever is a bit wrong. The injection time is just like a new unit.
There is no wear and no load on the electric contact like at the ignition beaker-points.
Regards
Norbert

I agree to disagree!
There is a reason why Bosch went from the easy mounting to keeping it in place with washers. And yes it is true that one cannot install my new shafts with snap ring as it gets too high in total for the opening in VW distributor. To be honest I have been asked only once for that.
However I still have some new VW/Porsche trigger points and I can share one with you.

I think now they are adjusted they will last for many years
So it’s a pity I’ve don’t took a picture when I had taken them apart, now is everything rebuild and it’s working fine
My trigger point looks the same as the left ones on your picture, do new points fit on that one?
And what would be the price of new ones

You’ve got my attention now.
1) What is the best methode for removing a, b, and c? Or is that a trade secret? That’s fine, too!
Best, Marc

no secret - I just drill both sides out and replace the shaft with a new and better designed one that resembles the shaft of 8-cyl trigger points.

Do you happen to have a photo handy of your "better designed" shaft attached to the steel frame? A photo from above and one from below would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Greetings Marc
