Threads showing on new BB, is this a problem?
Just had a new FSA Isis Bottom Bracket and compact crankset installed..
As I look down I see about 1 1/2 threads showing on the non-drive side.. It doesn't appear to be coming undone but it is not flush like the drive side.. I have put about 50 miles on it so far..
Is this something that I should be concerned about, it is an Italian BB which are known for coming undone?

The drive side is flush.. The threads showing are on the non-drive side..

THe non drive side does not necessarily need to be flush. BUt do check just in case, mine was not flush and i thought it was okay until one day i decided "hmm maybe i will tighten this a bit to check it out" and guess what, it went in quite a bit more.
