Ozone is also a major contributor to corrosion inside a distributor with high energy ignition systems. In combination with atmospheric moisture it can make things look like they've been immersed in salt water. Vented caps or distributors with vents help reduce ozone buildup.
Poor rotor phasing may also be a contributor to excessive ozone generation, due to longer sparks inside the cap.
