Aw heck no....the slop in your connecting rod through gland is enough for me to "send er' back" the untrue bore of the flywheel is an embarrassing QC pass. Since the purchase of the mamod forum 10th year anniversary model they're quality control is non existent. Its so sad and frustrating to buy a brand new engine and have so many disappointing quality issue's, this was not an inexpensive model and should be made right , but I suspect you'll not do much better with a replacement.
