Yes, would,t surprise me if the filter tunnel gasket has been left out, but I hope not. I would be more concerned with cracking the crank case by the impression given of mallet and case bolts being tightened etc. The inner race is not that tight on the shaft, just takes a little effort to get it started. Simple use of a pair of heavy screwdrivers ( if no puller available and little heat, done it myself. Then all this could have been avoided. Still, hope it all runs well.
