Lower chain case gear, flat side in or out?

[duffman]

Sled is a '97 583, although I don't think it matters.

Side with the raised collar goes in. flat side out

1998 670x gears..

does that go for the 670 as well on the lowere gear that the raised side in and the flat side out?

Thanks BPC. I forgot to look when I pulled it out. That looked correct but wanted to be sure.

If you are interested, just because you have the gears on right side out does not mean they are aligned, find a straight edge that will lay on both gears and look for a gap between the edge and one or both of the gears, I'm amazed how far off the alignment is on some sleds. I usually end up shimming the bottum gear to get the chain running straight.

You beat me to it. On my REV I had 2 mm difference in the alignment... blew a chain and case because of it.

Wow, that is quite a bit, I have never had one quite that bad, really hard on the gears and chain to run that far off as you found out.

I was worried that something was put together wrong, but it all checked out.
