Im no pro but here's mine and its silent so far. Motive 4.86 gears for me.

OK, Here is .028.

PS:
Motive tech guy told me he starts with .030 on these gears...and goes from there. go figure.

That's an odd thig for him to say considering it varies greatly between case/pinion support combos. Unless he was familiar with your exact set up I suppose. The pattern looks good but a few coast teeth look a tad deep in the .028 pics, happen to have a shot of the "ghost"/transfer pattern? sometimes it tells a better story. I can see the drive ghost and it looks good.

Yea i think he said it was just his starting point for a new setup with motive gears in a higher ratio like mine.. (when discussing the number srcribed on the pinion head.. def not needing .07" of shim).

when you say ghost/transfer. Are you tallking about when it carries the yellow marking compound over from the painted section to the bare teeth?
I liked looking at that during this process.. seemed easier to read the actual pattern that way

I will get some more pics later. And when you say the coast looks deep... that again would mean to keep pulling the pinion out with additional shim, right?

Yes and yeas. Looks really close though.
