I’m not exactly sure what you have but I had very similar sounding problems when my engine spun a rod bearing. Was there any copper shavings in the oil after this happened?

To anyone thats good at interpreting gear contact patterns.
Need an opinion on my contact pattern before i button it up. Finally got all the specs right (26inlbs total preload, .004in backlash). How does the pattern look to you guys?[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a156/island03gst/20130215_133405_zpsc6828691.jpg[/IMG]

How does the pattern look to you guys?I haven’t had much luck with the performance shops in town so I hesitate to go to them. I’m working with snap-on tools that were checked for calibration that I borrowed from a friend that retired from wrenching. And for the manual Im using the Nissan FSM for my car’s year. I’m going to give it one more try and if I can’t get it I’ll take it to a shop

How would they measure the pinion depth needed for an aftermarket carrier? I called on of the more reputable shops in town and they said they probably wouldn’t be able to do an aftermarket install. I’ve got a shim set and the torque wrench I need now so I’m going to give it one more go.
From what I’m reading in the shop manual for my car, they measure the shim needed for pinion depth with a tool measuring the distance from the pinion location to the centerline of where the carrier would be and adjust with measurements supplied by the ring gear set. It doesnt seem like the carrier changing would make much difference on the pinion depth because the centerline of the carrier doesnt change regardless of what carrier it is, right? I know the side bearing shim sizes will definitely not be the same but can someone educate me as to why the pinion depth would change?
