Hey guys,

I overhauled my 10 bolts, I changed all the oil seals and bearings. Note that I did not change the ring & pinion setup.

I found a really good article on the interned, named "getting the gears done" by bill ansell (or so) and now I want to check, if the setup of the ring and pinion are ok. As I mentioned above, I didn't touch the ring and pinion, so maybe I do not need to check the contact pattern at all.well, whatever,:crazy: I decided to check it and here are the pics of the contact pattern ( i jused prussian blue, didn't get some yellow stuff but it worked quite fine, although I think yellow would be the best chioce as the gearing already is quite dark)

So, all experts here, is the pattern fine? I never did that before but I really hope I do not need to change something :D

that blue stuff is hard to read in these pictures, but I'd have to agree with your conclusions.
