The pip mark on the gear tooth was probably put there by a former rebuilder so that the gears would re-index exactly as they came out. Is there a corresponding mark on the DRIVE gear????? If not then the mark would be aligned with the key way of the DRIVE gear.

However, it would not be good eng'ring to key a gear to the shaft with the key groove directly at the root of a gear tooth.

The mark probably has no significance unless one of the above conditions apply.
