You guys are in trouble! You'll need to take a BFH and drive it down til the gap is gone.










Sorry, couldn't resist, it is normal!

Yep, it's normal. I never noticed it on mine until I swapped my trees. Had me worried for a bit to until I looked at another one and realized it was normal.

I believe that's where you adjust ur head bearings. They make a tool for that but I always just used a screw driver and hammer.
