contact pattern

Well, I could be very well fn up using this gear set, time will tell, and if their noisy and unbearable I`ll have only myself to blame. I appreciate you taking the time to try and help people on this forum and with all due respect, YOU lack reading skills, we get to page 3 and you ask if this is a used set, when it was clearly stated they were on post 1. Then you put me through the frustration of tearing everything apart only to have the pattern going the Wrong way!
I blew it back apart added the original .032 + .010 which centered the pattern verified good by my new 83 yearold neighbor, longtime mechanic/builder, who has probably forgot more than I know.
Now to get that pesky eliminator shimstack figured out, it`s down to 2-.003 shim which did`nt come with the kit, but thanks to ol`Doc, "my neighbor" had some in his stash, plus let me borrow his big torque wrench.

I wanted to verify that it was in fact used, and then start from there, there was no lack of reading.

I said in my posts of what you have shown a pic of that it is marking at the root, to mark at the root is deep.

I then said after you confirmed it's used to make an adjustment, and then you put up a pic showing the COAST got better and was now marking correctly for a useable pattern, from that point we were probably around .003 to .0035 where it needed to be....
Then you put up another pic from a adjustment and it went wrong for the coast, yet the drive was still on the root as it has been in all which is a problem...

At this point it hasn't changed the way it's running on the drive.


If you for some odd reason made a preload setting before everything else is correct and then increase the pin depth it will increase pre load.

. The very last thing you do is set preload.
