EDIT: so the minor gap doesn't look right if it was taking any load at all but I don't think that it is taking any load at all, not withstanding that once the stem clamp is tightened up, these adjustment screws never take any load anyway. You only use them to get the bearing tightness just right, which isn't much at all and then you tighten the stem bolts. Of course the stem bolts have to be loose to effect any adjustment in the first place.
so looking again at pic - you may be correct. The headset adjustment may be done from that hex bolt on the inner ring (marked PAT.205335) - bit hard to see.
but there does seem to be a ledge on the stem which this 'ring' might be set on and providing the down pressure adjustment (prior to tightening the stem bolts...)
.if so then the torque value on the cap is in reference to that adjustment... and the stemcap is just a dust/dirt cap.
...but I still worry about moisture getting in there, thru that space.. LOL!
