Ahh. Was it noisy at all in the usual way? I've built a fair few of these now and I've found that no amount of setting up, new bearings, preload or patterning will get rid of front diff whine. I stick a new R&P in by default now. If it's not noisy then resetting the backlash and preload, maybe new bearings will do it. Wear isn't necessarily a problem, it's when it's the wrong sort of wear.
Once things have moved about in there I have found getting a pattern on them is almost impossible. A new set of gears and you can get a pattern right off the bat.
Going to be like a new one when you've finished. Still a shame that you've lost the VC though.
