Is there any valid codes at the moment?

First of all, excuse me for upping this old thread. I’m a new member and because of nursery period unable to start a new thread.

I just bought a frame with Super Record Pista headset with loose bearing balls. Frame came with only 42 bearing balls (fork was disengaged for transport by the seller). When I started to assemble the fork, it came obvious that 42 balls aren’t even remotely enough. So my first question: Should these headsets have 25 loose balls on both lower and upper crown? I have seen NOS bearing set on eBay which had only total of 48 balls.

I installed 25 balls on lower crown and rest 17 on upper crown based on thought that lower crown/cup will carry most of the pressure caused by the person on the bike. What is your opinion, am I in danger of damaging upper crown/cup when there are only 17 balls?

Cheers!
