The race thrust surface is within .001 / .002 parallel with the inside of the cover milled surface measured with a depth gauge, and the cover has a nice snug fit with the case. The shaft rolls nice and smooth on new rollers.
Is this engagement pattern of any concern? I used a crossing pattern to tighten the screws and nuts on the cover and notice if that isn't tuned in correctly the shaft won't turn. Trans hasn't been put in service, this is an observation made during endplay fitting.
How good can we expect this sort of assembly to get given the presence of a gasket?
My question is how good is good enough?
