Small corrections Mike:
I do have a "previous version" pinion, but only in 16T form and so uses are limited. In the time I ran it, it hasn't shown any wear either. I also have a few of your newer style versions and they are just as good, if not better wear-wise. The newer style is what I was referring to a few posts up.
And, shouldn't the order of operation be: run it first,
then clean and oil it?
