Default Need some Cam Bearing input

So long story short I had new Cam bearings (among other parts) put into my LC9. Well the new bearings are a smaller width than the originals. Should I be worried about this?

Also what is the recommended clearance for cam bearings?

These motors are hard on cam bearings, I always use and recommend Durabond CHP-10T or CHP-23T depending upon the vintage.

Well I measured about .005 clearance on whatever he installed in here. Is that too much?
And why are they so much thinner than the originals?

i'll need to go back and look at some pics of the bearings in my 383,
but i'm pretty sure they looked exactly like that.
