You’re in good shape with that one. Two degrees or less is tolerance for most diesel gear drive systems. Oil clearance and heat expansion will make that run even tighter. With the fixed idler pressurized lubrication spraying the gear set, it’s probably not going to be as noisy as expected.
Looks very good RRR. I agree with you in that I’d pull that plug with the 1/16 hole in it and use an .040 hole. That is PLENTY of oil with a .040 hole.
Oil film will help with the clearance. Should run well.
