Who does heat treating on ring and pinions, or whatever process to make them live longer? Sorry if this has been brought up in the past, I could not find anything.

I would consider cryogenically treating it. Adds life to most anything.

The best would be to purchase a new gear set already heat treated from Mark Williams, Indy Gear or Gleason.
I do not recommend heat treating any used set of ring and gears. If they are used, Cryogenics and REM/Micronite finish. http://www.performancemetal.net https://www.crownracegears.com/heat_treatment.html https://www.300below.com/motorsports/ https://negearpolishing.com/services/rear-axles |

Thanks for the input on this. The ring and pinion are new, but a discontinued ratio that is no longer available.

Tom,
Depending on the brand and supplier, it could be already heat treated. |
