Ring gear question?????

How much wear can a ring gear have and still be okay? I've got one I was considering using that is missing about 3/32" from each tooth. Is that too much?

Thanks

I replaced mine when the teeth started to chip and wear away. They are cheap too, mine was around $16. Cheap insurance so you don't have starting problems down the road.

If you're too cheap to buy a new one, you can do like I did and just flip it over.
