Installing oil pump driveshaft 700

I am slowly assembling my rebuilt '84 B23FT and the other day I installed my oil pump drive shaft. I lubed it up with motor oil and tried to drop it into the bushing in the block. It didn't drop in as expected, so I tried to push it gently, which didn't really work either. Finally I tapped it (not too hard) with a wooden mallet, using a dowel once it got down inside the block. Once it was in it spun freely and seems to be just fine. I was just wondering if this bit of resistance I encountered was normal and if I dealt with it in the appropriate manner. I hope I did anyway ;)

Thanks,

Matthew
