2.36 primaries

I asume you need to trim the basket rear plate to bolt these on the basket.orderd a mattoon and the plate doesnt go inside the gear. I didnt specify my ratio when bought, probably should have. I think i also heard the w/p gear needs to be trimed to clear the crank gear. Anyone know for sure?

I think it was Brad Tyson's shop I saw a few cut on a rotary table. Never messed with the 2:36 gears but I've had a set of 2:68's I had to lap the water pump gear to clear. I'm pretty sure they were Liberty Gears.

Ivd ran them in multiple motors , only issue I ever had was the water pump washer after the e-clip needs to be swapped to a smaller diameter washer or it grinds away . They were liberty gears , they are close to the case but never had issues

Maybe i pressed the kicker gear and bushing in from the wrong side but i dont think so. I thought the slots for the kicker gear where only on one side.

Take some pics I'm curious to see how close yours is to the case. If u need my cell pm me

I was thinking about dhooting keith an email. I just hate to waste his time with such a basic dumb question.

 

My problem isnt when assembling on the engine, im just bolting the gears to the basket. The backing plate od is larger than the recessed id on the big basket gear.

In case anyone was wondering that ratio does take a modified backing plate. Mattoon sells them or you have to turn down the oem size one.

I'm sorry I misunderstood what u were asking I thought it didn't clear the case n water pump assembly
