Headset top cup not perfectly flush - Cove Handjob

Posts: 21
Hello. Just fitted FSA Orbit headset to brand new Cove Handjob using a proper headset press. The top cup is ever so slightly out ie not perfectly flush to the top of the headtube at one side. I didn't get the frame reamed first, as I assumed it would have been done in the factory as part of the finish - was that naive of me? Is a very very slight skewing acceptable, or do I need to get my LBS to take it out and ream the frame? Alternatively, does anyone know if Cove frames are reamed already? If they are, is it just a case of knocking the 'out' side of the cup in with a block of wood and mallet? Ta.

They need to be square however you manage that.0

Is it just not flush because the headtube isn't perfectly flat on the edge or because the cup is catching on something inside? Face for the first, ream (or possibly return) for the second.0
