[QUOTE="hokie_yj, post: 281930, member: 4238"] Yeah, i said conundrum. I like big words, they make me feel edumacated. I'm gathering parts for a rear engine, single seater build with 609's front and rear. I just bought two sets of used 5.50 gears from somebody on another board. I won't name the board, but it rhymes with Pirate. I got the gears in the mail today. The problem is he shipped both sets in the same box, and there's no markings to tell which ring and pinion go together. :dunno: I've always been told to never mix and match ring and pinions because they're machined as a matched set. I would imagine since these gears are used that it's even more of a no-no since they've been run in together, and the mesh probably won't match. If i just toss 'em I won't be out that much. (I guess i know now why I got them so cheap) So, what do you guys say? Trash 'em? :gtfo: Randomly pair them up, beat the piss out of them, and hope I get lucky? :driving: For the love of God, NO! It will never work! Your axles will self destruct on the way to the mall causing you to take out a bus full of nuns? :****: [/QUOTE]
