It's just weird that the pinion depth would be so far off what spec says. Spec calls for 2.751 and I currently have it sitting around 2.880 I think
Cannot really go for what is "ideal'' or what factory settings are. Too many manufacturers in the world with different machines grinding these things out. If you open the backlash a few thou it may fall into place
