Kyota,

Thanks for the link   Very interesting page on 5.71 weakness...gears which I am running and have decided to keep instead of going down to 5.29's after the 3rz swap.  My rear third was never set up right with too much (probably .020") backlash and I get gear noise between coast and drive.  The Park Tool inch pound torque wrench is also a good tip and found out that a local bike shop sells them very reasonably.  I like reading a guage or dial instead of waiting for a click. This has given me a great deal of encouragement to fix the backlash since I have never done R&P work.

Thanks again

I've been saving ZUK's page in case I ever get up the nerve to try and set one up myself. Lotsa good stuff on there.

well if you have any more questions feel free to ask, I have set up a few myself and feel confident about it
