How recessed is the top recessed bearing? Can anybody measure? I attached a picture of what I mean. Basically, how far below the edge of the frame does the bearing rest?

I’d say mine looks about the same as that. I don’t have a vernier caliper but to my eye mine looks about .5mm.

AFAIK, these bearings can be found on AliX in 2 heights. P16 & P16-8. From memory, 1 is 1mm taller than the other. TBH, having built quite a few of these now, i think either works, the slack can be adjusted with the headset cap, spacers, removing materials and so on. shims are easier to add than it is to remove material, obviously.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.
