They are not the same hubs. Not saying this is causing your problem but up to and including 84 on the SD is a non ABS hub. From 85' on is the ABS hub which the SE woulda had if I'm not mistaken.

Another thing to consider: If you used the outer roller cage from the SD instead of reusing the SE's you possibly no longer have matched (of the same make) races and roller cages as The Manual (see pic) appears to insist on.

To CI's helpful post I would add that only by the sheerest of coincidence could you ever get the bearing play right by feel. Get the tools CI told you to get. Use them and see how far off you are and let us know. Proper play is 0.01 - 0.02 mm which converts to 0.000393700787inches - 0.000787401575 inches. Readings on the tool are in 0.001" increments so letting the needle jiggle halfway between two lines when pulling on the hub gives you 0.0005" worth of play i.e. 0.0127 mm which should do it.
