throwout bearing to fingers gap?

Adjusting fork rod due to pedal not returning all the way up. Thought it might be somewhere in the linkage, but I disconnected and checked everything with no binding. Started adjusting the rod to put bearing closer to fingers and that seems to be what was causing it. Huge difference. So how close do I need to be? Right now, Im about .050. Seems awfully close, but bearing spins freely.
Thanks
.050 is pretty close. I adjust mine around 1/8" or so, cycle the clutch a few times and recheck. I ruined a clutch by adjusting just the pedal freeplay. The bearing was riding on the pp fingers and it seized. Never again. I always adjust the air gap and never a issue.
