This cam follower is an RC-scale replacement component for the DZ170 CDI ignition assembly. It acts as the contact element between the rotating cam and the valve actuation parts on small two- and four-stroke RC engines, supporting consistent ignition timing through service intervals.
Built as a replaceable service item, the follower mitigates wear at the cam interface; swapping a worn follower removes excess play in the cam train and helps maintain timing precision without altering the engine internals. The unit is provided singly for inspection and scheduled replacement as part of engine upkeep.
Fitting is straightforward for those familiar with small engine maintenance: remove the cam or ignition cover, check seating and cam condition, install the follower with the cam parked at rest to avoid misalignment, and refit original fasteners. Complete a timing check and confirm smooth cam action before returning the engine to full use.
