Hi Ron,
Thats a good point, the set-up dimensions for a new block are given in the manual
(from memory 79mm) but no wear limit. From the dimension you gave you are a
good way below that. 
I have a 700-6-6 Air Trac tyre fitted and with a new block there is nearly 1 between
the top of the tyre and the fuselage. That reduces over time as the block
ages. The current block is now about 8 years old and there is still about 3/8
of daylight between tyre and fuselage. 
If you want to get a better feel for the situation you could lift the tail to put
the aircraft in the flying attitude and then measure the ground clearance between
the propeller/ground.

Pete,

Per the manual the 3.1 distance between the plates is set prior to installing the
assembly in the aircraft.
