Exclamation Pilot Bearing in too deep?

Seeking help from guys that have replaced their pilot bearing. I overshot my depth and am at about .50" deep from the lip/end of eccentric shaft instead of the .45-.48 I've seen mentioned in other threads. I can't find it spec'd in the FB FSM :

..I measured the depth to the oil seal before pulling it and got .25". The oil seal is .20"... so total depth to pilot bearing is .45" which jives with what I've heard (.45-.48).

So am I fucked or is an extra 2 hundredths of an inch not gonna matter that much?
