[QUOTE="Matt P, post: 11620382, member: 65113"] I am rebuilding my diff. New bearings, seals etc. Also putting in Ford Racing 4:10s. I am not using a pinion depth tool, yet... I just started out with the factory 0.030 shim on the pinion and set back lash to spec. The marking pattern from the marking paste is a little high on the tooth, not hanging off, but on the upper portion of the tooth. Is this okay? I have spent the last 8 hours just trying to get the teeth marking pattern to look dead on. If I bring the pinion out and reset the back lash I do not get any improvement in the pattern. I brought the pinion out 0.070 to the point it touched the center section and could not get the pattern to look better. I dropped the pinion shim down to .025 and reset the backlash and the pattern was about the same. I pretty much went from .025 to .070 pinion shims in .005 steps reseting the back lash every time and the marking pattern would not get any better. I lso tried running backlash very tight and this did not help either. So do I stick with the 0.030 shim and the sort of high marking pattern? [/QUOTE]
