Shouldn't be any spaces, stack sounds ok but looks odd... from bottom to top:
Fork race (wedged on the fork),
Lower bearings,
Lower steerer tube cup (wedged in the frame),
Upper steerer tube cup (wedged in the frame),
Upper bearings,
Lower/larger nut (loose one tightened up with minimal force),
Upper/smaller top nut (tightened onto the lower nut to stop things loosening).
Are the bearings original/the correct size/amount? Which part of the headset is jarring? Does the thread on the fork look damaged/dirty at all?
