Help needed with Campag Hiddenset in a CAAD 7 frame.....

Hi,
I'm trying to fit a Campag hiddenset to my CAAD 7 frame, the bearing faces fit perfectly, but the top race sits about 1.5mm proud of the top of the headtube, is this right ?? I would think that the cap would sit flush with the top of the headtube, but even it sits about 1mm above the headtube.
Am I doing something wrong here ? The bottom race fits perfectly on the crown race and neatly inside the headtube, but the top.....doesn't.
Any ideas here guys ?
Cheers
Sean

Are you sure you have the right spec of headset / bearings - there are loads. Have you compared new bearings with old? Download the Headset guide from the FSA website which has all the key dimensions which might help with ID. Finally I wouldn't worry about the gap as long as the headset can be tighten to be smooth with no play.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

Are you sure you have the right headset? Have you got too many shims in there?
Generally there will be a small gap to prevent the top-cap binding.0
