Default Steering wheel vibrates after swap HELP

I know this should be posted in Hybrid or Tech but need help.
I never had problem with this sort with my stock VX engine. But after my swap my steering wheel vibrates. I used all Teg mounts and torqued every bolt to spec and then re-torque thereafter. Is this normal since the B18c1 engine is heavier?

does it do it at a specific speed, or all the time?

Its prob just the motor needs a tune-up. Do a valve adjustment and hopefully that will help out with the vibrations.

Mine does too....I put in the ES inserts when I did the swap. Its right at warm idle with the fan on "1" (750rpm), and can be bad enough that I rest my knee against the wheel to "absorb" the vibration. It rattles my MDs in the glovebox. Annoying, but it doesn't do it all the time.
