Default Engine Vibrates at idle

I'm guessing you're hearing a rattling sound at idle? If that's the case then don't worry, the LA is a plain bearing engine which means the crankshaft can move backwards and forwards very slightly. This only happens at idle when there's not enough thrust from the prop to keep the crankshaft pulled forward.
