Default New engine...new vibration

I know you guys have a lot of experience with engine replacements. I've done three so far but I've run into a problem with this one (Jasper engine). She seems to run smoothly anytime except at idle. Very strong vibration after it warms up and is idling. The timing is good and it has plenty of acceleration. Is it possible I put the flywheel on backwards...or maybe the harmonic balancer? It's gotta be something stupid. Any ideas?:confused:

If the flywheel were to go on backwards, I'm not sure that you would be able to attach your starter. Maybe motor mounts?

"Moter Mounts"...yeah, that sounds like a good place to look. The engine mounts did seem a little sloppy now that you mention it. Thanks! :thumbs:
