Put a strip of paper between the two gears and press and hold them in place while securing the engine. When you roll the paper out it will look like an accordion and you will have the perfect mesh.

So put a peace of paper betwin them and I can push it all the way to the spur gear and it doesn't maker how hard I push it to the spur gear as long as I have that paper in there it won't let it be to close to bind up

That is correct. Just make sure the engine is square to the spur and not at an angle.

The paper trick is pretty much foolproof, but the object is to have the gears as as tight as possible while still moving freely.
Snug your engine bolts down just enough so you can still move the engine around, then put a strip of copier/printer paper between the gears.
tighten down the engine mount and remove the paper. The gears should spin freely, but still have a good tight mesh.
