Default Pinion Depth

Is the piniion depth written on the Superior gears or not? Anybody know?

I have not dealt with Superior Gears before...BUT, I have been installing gears for a LONG time and the gear depth and backlash has been on EVERY SINGLE aftermarket set I have EVER installed. I would be very surprised if Superior does not mark their sets.

Yes they are marked, but without a pinion depth guage it really won't help.

What about a dial indicator?

You can use one. They are better suited for backlash measurement. The pinion gear depth tool makes it very easy. It's well worth the money.
