BTW- If you did all the basics - tight expander that doesn't slip, and loose stem - take a minute to take everything off down to the split expander cone and the first spacer. Press the spacer down and make sure it always touches only the expander cone, and doesn't bottom out on the bearing top cap. In some headsets you need a small OD washer on top of the cone before the rest of the stack.
