Kevin, I assumed they would make sure materials were heat reisitant. Meaning I thought that would not be the problem even though in extreme conditions in regional zones starting with x ambient. "Underhood" includes induction from "block" into distributor shaft into wheel. Just a side comment anyway, in my "guess" post. Other guesses from others are relevant and not arguable as such.
The allowed gap is .010 to .060 so there may not be an issue with coefficient of expansion/loss of distance.
The true way to determine if this part is a failure point is to place it in a known working set up on a motor.
Another guess is if there is no fire it seems to not be the rotor if gapped correctly. I'm guessing some firing would occur with mixed strength rotor magnetics. Not Sure.
