This cam follower serves as an RC-scale replacement for the DZ170 CDI ignition assembly. It takes the contact load from the rotating cam to the valve actuation mechanism on small two- and four-stroke engines, helping the ignition maintain repeatable timing throughout operation.
Manufactured as a service item, the component targets wear at the cam interface; fitting a fresh follower reduces play in the cam train and helps retain timing accuracy without modifying internal engine parts. It ships as a single replaceable follower for routine inspection and exchange during engine maintenance.
Replacement is a routine workshop task for those comfortable with engine strip-down: remove the cover, inspect the seating surfaces, fit the new follower with the cam in its rest position to avoid misalignment, and refit the original fasteners. Verify cam motion and timing prior to full engine use.
