PTFE will help the threads engage for sure, but i'm not sure how much i'd trust it. how much of the cup catches the thread?
I'd say approx 2/3 of the thread engage OK, which is not bad, but there is some play between the cup and the shell until the cup touch the bearings.
I was afraid to tight the lockring too much in case it would pull the cup out of the BB and damage the theads...
