I have had good results with Motive gears made in Italy. This scribing error may not be such a big deal--I can't imagine someone setting up gears and not bothering to check the pattern. The Richmond tooling was worn out so Motive decided to go with their Italian supplier for both brands after buying Richmond.

An auto machine shop with a connecting rod rebuilding hone can easily open the ID of a bearing to use as a slip fit trial pinion bearing.
