Took the V-drive apart, and this is what I found. Been together for two summers. Case ran cool at all times with Redline 70-90. Had noticed a little higher howl than usual toward the end of the season last year, was one of the reasons that it was taken apart, plus to change oil. Anyone have any idea what could have happened? Was set up with a .007 lash in the gears.
