Watch out for gasket thickness, i've seen gaskets as thick as .030 and some as thin as .010. I just measured one gasket that was .027 thick and another that was .013 tk.
That is if you're running a gasket
Also don't use a stock thin sheet metal cover that will flex.

That makes it real easy then, all you have to do is determine how many threads per 1" is on the adjuster. Example if it's 5/16"X 24 Divide 24 into 1.000 and that will tell you how much to back the adjuster out once you adjust it to "0" against the button. Example 24 would be .041, so you would back it out 1/8 of a turn for .005 clearance.

hope this helps.
