Not ideal but should be ok once the hub is tightened on. If that is a new wheel bearing then it's just an old engine and may have been ridden with the hub nut loose at some point in its life. Tighten the rear hub on and check it for wobble.

Shaft went in with just a little tap with a drift, thought it seemed too easy.
I dont have brake shoes or rear backing plate but i sat the hub on tonight and tightened it by hand and there was no play, i never tried the gears though, will try it tomorrow night, if this is gonna be a problem is new lay shaft needed?
if the hubs taking up all the slack an theres no rubbing with backplate/shoes on there should be no problems . dont forget you'll need to be spinning the hub to go through gears . H
if its got wheels n makes a noise I wanna play with it, skateboards included coz "skate-punks rule",
put the hub on today to see how the shaft was, i only have a 3/8 drive torque wrench and because its a 22mm socket i had to use a 1/2 inch rachet so i tightened it up hard as i could but then 1st gear was very hard to move an neutral was also a bit stiff, so i turned it back once and 1st and neutral were ok so im gonna try it torqued to see what its like but to be honest and pretty worried about this, i defo have the correct bearing in, im allready sourcing a new layshaft, bit gutted if i need to split the cases again but hey such is life
also fitted a cosa clutch, never expected the clutch cover to fit but it did, though you had to dremmel inside the cover?
ok, so i torqued the hub up and there was still rubbing and stiffness and i decided it was best to split the cases again( easier than last time ) on splitting the cases i noticed the rubbing was on the cush drive plate and was puzzled as to how this can happen, removed the layshaft to have a good look at it.
looked ok and i dug out the box of old bearings to see how it would be on the shaft and it was also pretty loose, you all might remember how after making a bit of a mess splitting my cases first time round i decided to get the mot station to press out old bearings and put the new ones in along with the new oil seals, after looking in the box of old seals i discovered a big circlip yeah thats right its the circlip that was ment to be holding the hub bearing in place, after removing the oil seal, drifting the bearing in and putting the circlip on the shaft sat pretty snug, i have now bolted the hub on while the cases are still apart to check every thing, gears are lined up and everything is moving freely, i have a CENTAURO gasket set and i could put the cases back together tomorrow or should i wait and order a Piaggio one? i will be using a gasket sealant.
good news on the shaft/bearing thing .that head looks ok to me,i'm guessing your asking about the crazing at top 12 to 1 oclock position .thats fairly normal an most used heads will have it . H
