Mmmmm, not really, you never mentioned the spring. To me, between the spring and the oil pressure, it would be fine without the ratcheting feature. The ratcheting feature, IMHO is only useful in the event of both a loss of oil pressure AND failure of the spring, kind of an "emergency fall-back" position. With the spring in place, the ratcheting feature is a little German over-engineering. BUT it's nice to know it's there.
