The big question is: since the drive is going back to Tracy soon, should I switch to the RD-1C or stick with the B-model

Poo..  Brain fade.  Ignore everything I said earlier.  I was thinking you had a -C drive already.

Next possible thing is rosette weld failure on sun gear.  I switched to drilled & pined gear some time ago when I thought of this as a possible failure mode.  Which do you have Dave?  Backfire *would* be the most likely thing to induce that.
