How should the Pinion Gear and the Spur Gear mesh?
Should they be loose? Like when 1 gear starts moving after being stopped, that gear can move a little bit before making contact w/ the 2nd gear's teeth?

All gears have some "Wink". This prevents them from binding, espically when they get hot from opration. A lot of slop in the gear mesh is not desirable as it means you are not getting full tooth contact.
Are we talking about a Servo?

I set up my helicopters by "crushing" a piece of paper between the main gear and pinion. Once everything is tight, I pull out the paper and it comes out with the tooth mark creases of the pinion and main gear. I got that tip a long time ago and could not provide credit where is due. Do not know if this is applicable to cars.

The "Paper Feeler Guage" method has been published for many years in all Kyosho &Tamiya GP carmanuals, example attached.
(. Extremely important with Bell housing and main spur gear on GP cars to protect clutch and plastic gear train.}
