Default Bellhousing Depth

Guys...quick question....

If a bellhousing (including block plate) was about an 1/8" more shallow, would that mess up the relationship (cause major problems) between the pilot and the pilot bushing?

Reason being, in another post, I asked about using a McLeod bellhousing and a Lakewood block plate... The block plate is about 1/8" thinner than a regular McLeod block plate.

I was looking on Lakewood's PDF file...they have their regular blowproof bellhousings with a depth of 6.361" (with block plate) and then they have the regular bellhousings (non SFI approved) that are only 6.236". If you do the math, that's 1/8" difference. So apparently an 1/8" more shallow wouldn't hurt anything....does this make sense?
