Quick public service note, as rattlewagon suggests, you can go to www.gearinstalls.com, ZUK has tons of info and pictures of good patterns.

Also note at the bottom of his page there is a little Paypal button where you can thank him for reading your pattern with a small payment. A few dollars to get a professional opinion on your gear pattern, shim choice, etc is an amazing deal.

Hi Dice88-
I can see from the coast pattern that your pinion depth is too deep. Try taking off .006" and post more pics. Post a clear pic of the drive side👍
