Borg Warner synchronizer gap measurement

Can someone with borg Warner experience/ knowledge tell me what is the acceptable gap on a 56 borg Warner three speed transmission blocking rings as they sit next to second and third gear.Also is there any literature available to walk me through the rebuild process.

VanPelt's website has some good info on this. He sells a book on rebuilding the 3-sp's in earlier BW/Ford trannies, not sure if it also covers yours. VanPelt Sales - Books for Sale
From there, here is a picture showing the desired gap.
