As a 30yr MB tech I can tell you that a little loose on those style bearings will run damned near forever. A little too tight and they"ll go about 200 miles.

I do not, just a wideband O2.

Im fairly sure that the dynojet dynos are inertia type.

I was really quite rich on my street tune, I leaned it a lot and I am still in the high 8s lambda.

The value 02 is the hysteresis that turns the cam back off. The value 0 is off but doesn't turn it off once it is on. That was a pretty big eureka moment.
