Hi,
I have a Boxxer Team '08 fork installed on an EC-D DH bike. I took apart the upper crown to remove the brakes, and now that I've reinstalled it there are 1mm spaces above and below the head tube. Here are links to pics with red lines showing the spaces:

So my question is: is that spacing supposed to be there? I'm pretty sure no part came out (I didn't really disassemble everything, just lifted the upper crown). There are also 2 rubber o-rings one at each end of the head tube that may serve the purpose of covering the space to keep the dust out, but I'm still not sure that's the intent. I'm afraid of the damage and play that may develop if the spaces aren't supposed to be there.
I've looked through the tech manual but couldn't find anything to answer my question.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
