Breather Gear questions?

Posted this on the Horse board, but haven't gotten much, other than a couple of differing opinions (pics at link below).

Basically, I'm reassembling a '56 and the breather gear doesn't appear to accept a spacer (at least not the pre 79 type), which puts my endplay at about .020 by the time my gasket is in place. Not sure what the deal is.

And if I need to buy another gear, I need to know whether it is stock or oversize. mine is 1.124 diameter

Thanks in advance.
