You want the spur gear and pinion mesh to be close but not too close as it will bind up and heat up your motor and wear the gears fast. The best mesh is just about tight but a little wiggle room in between. If you have the stock motor mount you can use pieces of paper or thin card stock to shim the motor for a good mesh. Some people set the gear mesh with a piece of paper or plastic in between the spur and pinion when the motor mount is adjustable. Brians right on the magnets. They make the motor stronger or torqueier if thats a word.
