Gap between sc pulley and clutch?

What's the gap between the clutch and pulley supposed to be at?

A guy at Eurocharged said 2 mm, but that looks WAY too big and I can't seem to find it on the forums.

Sitting here with a pulley in limbo so I'd appreciate an answer, heh.

Before you took the oem pulley, you needed to measure it will the gap stick(I think that's what it's called lol)

However, the shims used for the sc pulley have been anywhere from 2-6 shims

I actually decided to error on the side of caution and used all 4 shims. It appears right now the gap is about 1mm, but I think if anything, it'll settle right in nicely. The old pulley definitely looks beat up a bit.

I understand the shims need to be there, but why? there is never a point, even at idol, where they are not fully engaged. Even on my stock pulley it was always engaged.
