I have spent hours trying to get the backlash in range. I am finally there. But the gear pattern seems slightly off. I'm not sure if I should try for slightly better pattern or run this? See photos.
The reason I'm asking is because the slightest amount of change makes huge differences. At least it did for trying to get the backlash right. So i'm worried I'll be chacing a dragon that I'll never catch.

Who would run this pattern?

Definitely not.

Pinion is too deep.

Try a thinner pinion shim... I'm thinking 0.010 thinner, see where that gets you.
 
Good god no.
 
One thing that will help you read the pattern when doing this check is to check the tech section. There is an article on the procedure, how to read the markings, and what is acceptable and what isn't and why. It should help you greatly. Setting up the gearing is a pain but you have to do it right.
