People do just throw stuff together and often get away with it, but tight ring gap can cause damage and bad sealing until it wears a bit, or if unlucky seize.
On a well used bore getting it honed will aid sealing but can't just use old fashioned hones on plated. Again most people don't bother and bike still runs OK.

Spend some time cleaning the PV system.
