Default P-80 Engine Mount

Hi, this might be a dumb question, but I am new to turbines. I have a new P-80 and put the factory mount on and were the 2 haves meet they make small indentations in the chrome housing. Is this normal or do I have somthing to worry about?? At the cost of this thing, I thought I would ask, as I can't call Jetcat till Monday.
Thanks.

Chuck.

Marks on the motor case?? you don`t need to crunch the clamp down super tight, just snug.

I did the same as you when I mounted my p-80 on my first Jet, got some small marks on the case, now it is powering my third jet and never had a problem with it, I do not think that there is anithing to worry about, but like Vincent says, just make it snug........

Regards,
RM

Thanks Guys for the input. After looking the mount over closer, I see it was not that the 2 piece mount was not over tighten, The mounting tabs were not a perfect 90 degree to the bottom mount. So when I screwed it to a flat surface it put a little more pressure right at the spot were the 2 half's meet.
