16v: how do i keep oil from flooding the distributor?

Yes and no (unless I'm missing what you're saying). I don't think the two sides work together much. When the parts are originally made for a car, they cut cost where ever they can because they'd rather sell a $10,000 cost car for $20,000 than a $30,000 cost car for $40,000. Now, when those cheap parts break, they give you the chance of replacing the part with the same cheapo one, or putting on a good part which surely would have been used to begin with if it didn't cost $200 more than the cheap one. Aftermarket companies don't necessarily have to work harder, just smarter (as the saying goes). They build a product based on quality instead of price because people are more likely to choose quality over price when it comes to replacement parts. The aftermarket companies see what consistantly weak parts there are and build better versions, then they just wait for demand to come to them. There's obviously a bit more to it, but that's my stab at the industry. Mind you, I usually try to go
 the opposite direction from conspiracy theories.

I really think it is money. If it is aftermarket, they have to work harder
at getting biz, so they build a superior product. Kind of counter-intuitive
in a way, but I am sure that VW has contracts with these manufacturers. So
therefore, they have their guaranteed biz (VW), and their good markup biz
(aftermarket)... Any marketing majors or CPAs on the list care to confirm,
deny, or just plain question my silly theory? :)

Cheers,
