Judging by the dimension you gave, I would say that aligning the disc to the pilot bearing without the bell did not align the bearing retainer to the bell opening. You may have noticed that without the bell you can move the trans up 'n' down quite a bit.
Before you go any further, paint the core support black with stone guard paint. It's what I've found to be nearest to the slop that they used when new.

"Detailer" & "Inspection" I think are the same things by different names. I've been using both for many years. I don't wash my cars. Water & detergent do not touch my cars. And the paint on my convert is over 30 yrs old. It's fantastic stuff. Removes road dirt, dust, bird shit and any other...
