Gear Pattern Opinions Please

SpeedThrills said

This is an 8.8 Ford (in my F150), but the gears don't know that. (ssshhh!)
I have limited experience setting up gears, but I've never seen a pattern that encompasses the entire tooth, drive and coast. And I don't see any pictures like these online.
I used Ford Motorsport gears (going from 2.73 open, to 3.31's w/ a Traction Lok. I used the original pinion shim, and the original left side carrier shim. There's about .008 back lash, the spec is .008 to .012.

your gear pattern is perfect ,, leave it alone ,, every 8.8 i've ever done using Ford factory gears rolls the same type pattern when set up correctly. as long as your pinion bearing preload is correct as well as your carrier bearing preload you are good to go. total width of both carrier bearing shims averages 0.540 + /- 0.010 thou depending on the housing. keep backlash to the minimum .008 as it will open up as the bearings wear in ,, you can see pics of my 8.8 patterns and other differentials on the Kijiji site here in Canada.
