The layer of thermal paste should end up only razor thin. It's a good conductor, but not as good as the heat sink itself. Most thermal paste comes in either a squeez tube (like toothpaste) or a syringe (spelling?). Just put a dab inside the sink and use your finger to spread it around (it washes off easy). It should bridge any gap between the sink and the motor.

If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
