New gears. How does the pattern look?

Hey I just finished putting my new 4.30 gears into my 8.8 housing. Backlash is at .009" (spec is 0.008-0.012"). I started at .030" shim under the pinion head and ended up around 0.047".

Does the pinion need to go deeper or is it okay?.... or did I go too far already?

Thanks
Shane

Lost of good information guys. Thank you for posting all that. I am going to go with the 15 minute drive, then cool down, then another cycle. Any call it good to go after that. Plus I will have a brand new clutch to break in also so no real hard driving for 500 miles. Should work out well.

Thanks again.
