I would like to add that when you go back out, to concentrate on finding out what's creating the interference on just one of the notes, dissect it, so to speak. Another thing that comes to mind: If this huge gap space exists on all 88 notes, then you have theoretically eliminated the damper system from being the culprit. If I envision the possibility of a jack stop rail device being set too close to the jack levers, and therefore the jack levers are blocking up against this rail, preventing the completion of normal key travel. Whatever is causing the problem ought to be very obvious, but only after you discover it.
