Yes


The cap thing... If I remember right, the clearance spec is very small. That would translate to tight, but still easily spinnable by hand. If it feels locked, then that's a No. A human hair is actually pretty thick, in motor clearance terms. I would say that a detectable but unmeasureable amount of play is probably fine. The clearances are going to change anyways once the motor warms up.
