The unit I’ve been using for testing has been quite consistent, even up to 1500 distributor rpm. The grease is actually assembly grease.

You describe it better than I did. Yes, little rails which form a sort of "circular cam." The hang-up on the Renner replacement I put to "manufacturing burr" (i.e. new and "sharp edge")

Some use and some wear (not a lot) will probably solve this.

I've considered one of the "miracle lubricants" instead of common water pump grease for this. But the object now is to "wear it in" which might be delayed by higher tech slip.
