Need an opinion on ring and pinion (mic drop)...
I've noticed you can drive yourself crazy with this process, so I'm looking for feedback. This is my 3rd attempt on a ford 8.8, current backlash is 0.010" (middle of spec, new gears), and this is the pattern. I tried pinion deeper and shallower (0.035" and 0.030"), this is 0.0325" and looks best to me. Full disclosure, you will be held liable for your advise, ha, kidding thanks.
