I like the end-play to be about .004 to .008. If you're down around the low-end, you should be good.

You should check it with a dial indicator and magnetic mount. Then move the crank back/forth with a big screw-driver between a counterweight and the block (gently!) and see how much end-play the indicator shows you.
