Re: Used Gear Pattern Check
Wow, that's ugly. It is high and toward the toe on the drive side, which would need more shim under the pinion and open up the backlash....but the low contact on the other side is the most concerning. It indicates the opposite
I just noticed that this is a front end, that makes a big difference. The concave side is the drive in that case....I would remove some shim from the pinion and see how much it opens up the backlash.
This is the problem of messing with used gears. Unless you know where they "were" and checked the pattern and backlash numbers before disassembly, it is just a shot in the dark. If they were worn "funny" in the first place, you are never going to get them right.
My best guess is to open up the backlash and re-mark it. .008 is too tight for used gears, they have worn some since that measurement was "good".
My head hurts now.....

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....
The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
