Check to make sure the cap is cut on the c/l.
DO NOT assume that it is cut perfectly when measuring to the top of the pinion.



What does the cap have to do with it?

I'm measuring from the mating surface, not the cap. Are you suggesting the cap may be cut too deep and bottoming before securing the bearing, therefore allowing movement?


No
Im saying that the caps and housing are not cut directly on the bearing center line.


You can get the depth measurement closer by figuring out how much the housing has been cut offset but at the end of the day its the pattern.


That's why the pattern is important and the tool is a guide.
