Ford 201 disc

I recently purchased a nice old Ford 201 disc and I have a question about the bearings. The bearings have a good bit of slop in them so I pulled one of them apart and inspected it. It really doesn't look worn badly so my question is, how tight are they when new? These are the clamshell type bearings not ball bearings. Obviously the clamshell design is not all that precise so I'm thinking there's a fair amount of slop even when new, does this sound right? Thanks
 
Yes that is correct, you just need to use a lot of grease in them. Grease till it starts pushing out say in morning , noon and again in evening. Probably a full tube or more each time.
