I guess I put it tight and then back out just a tad. The gears today have a bulit in tolerance so that they won't completely bind. That is why the "old" paper method is wrong and shouldn't be used. I'm getting my info from numerous articles by manufs. and experienced racers.

Everyone I know that has experience does the same thing.

Well said" 100% correct info.
