Hey dan,
Not at all, it properly installed. Example: B engine in my '30 A frame. I used the rear alum FAM and the 'original' A front mount (along with the trans fam mount). Crank hols lined up perfect ! IMO, anyone not knowing better, tighten down these mounts...way TOOO much that I've seen , and/or do not install these mounts properly. Improper installation will cause problems with undue vibrations , wear and crank hole misalignment, etc....
BTW..just recently (after dozen yrs running as described above), I installed one of those B front mounts that are sold by vendors. After fitting problems(from maker) were corrected, my B is held much more stable under hard acceleration
This B was fully balanced when built, however I was installing a crank nose balancer and opted for the B front mount. I've never had a 'vibration' from imbalance problem...but like to run rpms up a bit..sooo.
