just mix up a small ball, stick it on an impeller blade, install the pump and wait 15 minutes. remove the pump, remove the rubber, cut it half and measure the gap with a digital caliper. we use this for setting gaps on 737 engine thrust reversers, it would be perfect for this.

That is a very good tip.

That's a very good idea.
