The coast side doesn't look bad. I can't really read the drive side. Is this a new or used gear?

Do you have the pinion bearing preload set to 19 to 21 inch pounds? If you do then stick and axle in it and use the axle to turn everything when checking the pattern. It will give you a more clear pattern and it will be a lot easier to read.
