Smitty says:  Ewell it's done with feeler gauges normally.  Stick a
gasket in place and lay the cover plate on so it about half covers the
gear face.  Slip a feeler between the gear and plate and find out how
much clearance it gives you.  You might check at two or three places
because the castings are not always square with the gear shaft and you
could end up with a tight spot.
