I seem to remember that (in 8BA's at least), the one measurement you could check was the clearance between the bottom plate and the ends of the gears. You checked it with "plasti-gage" and set it using variable gasket thicknesses. The figure .008" comes to mind, but I'll have to check when I can get back to my shop.
