I forget from not having Digifant in my hand recently
but-

It sounds like you should sorce a replacment for the
plastic spacer you broke.

in the case of cylinder pressure and all I belive you
are not fully sealed.

Short term, likley no problem. 
Long term, it can't be good to run unbalanced like
that.

 Dems me 'tinks.
