pinion was obviously too deep before but how is it now?
 
I'd run it. The main thing to be concerned with is that the pattern isn't running at the tip or at the base of the tooth. You want it centered half way up the tooth. That looks pretty good to me.
 
after swapping the set up bearings that i ordered from ECGS (thank you guys for the help) i didnt get the race seated correctly and the whole setup changed so i took it to shop while i was in AZ for xmas. so it's done now. i have a pretty good idea what i screwed up so when i change gears sometime in the future (yes i'm planning a diesel swap sometime....not soon though) i should be good.
