Gearbox Mesh Question
Just a quick question from those of you out there that made your own gearboxes.

What have you found to be the best tooth clearance adder to the diametrical pitches of the spur gears to get a nice mesh. We have been using 5 thou total adder and it was really tight at Philly even after lapping in the gears, finally it is starting to get loose after Detroit. I would like more of that worn in feeling before the first regional.

Thanks in advance.
