i bet it was due to buildup of the hardened coating.

my machinist made a mistake on my motor mount plates so he is making new ones today. i hope to get my motor mounted up tonight.

hey kaz,
after you heated the gear and dropped in oil did you then heat again and drop in water? didnt someone here on the forum say to do it that way? or is that necessary?

The machine shop I went to said to use oil only.
