At 8:45 you mention a seal on the internal piece. That's a very important seal - if its compromised, the internal gears don't keep oil on the correct side of them and is the reason these gears wear out. It is a wearable part and is not available anywhere.

Do you know if this seal is "split" on purpose? I recently pulled my pulley apart and found this seal to be split but it appears to be in a very uniform diagonal way.

But unfortunately to my upmost frustration, oil has once again started to leak from the pulley area. I'm so annoyed that I'm gonna have to start all over again, or is it possible that the O-ring has just not seated properly and I'm still getting oil passing through the pulley? In which case, I'll remove the front of the pulley in place. Cheers

No!!! Do not follow that video. I watched it and cringed 😬. The timing gear must be put back on mark with the lines you scratch beforehand. Also the O ring will be hard to keep in place horizontally. If it falls out of groove as you tighten, guaranteed leak and needing a new O ring. Remember this O ring wasn’t intended to be serviced, factory wants you to replace the whole gear. We are side stepping to save $150.
