Default first engine questions

Getting ready to break in my first engine, and I've a few newbie questions-
Engine is a TT-46, 10/5 MAS prop, LT-40. How tight does the shaft nut need to be? Tight as I can get it? Break in with or with out the spinner? Also, with the spinner that came with the kit, by the time I get the spinner backplate, the prop, retaining nut and bolt on the shaft, there is maybe 1/8 of an inch left on the shaft- am I not getting something here? Seems there should be more space left at the front of the shaft-
Thanks for info-
Cheers,
Brett
