Make sure you verify the oil passages don't have any flashing sealing them shut. james

got it today, well 1st had to take my old gear shaft and sorta bore the hole alittle, wouldn't slide right in. no flashing in any holes. if I lay a straight edge across gears Its has .004 clearance, is that good? other than that looks good--for something "made in china"

p.s. doesnt come with front seal
