Default How long before the buzzing subsides, somewhat?

Put a B18b into my 90 HF. Used all good stuff including Hasport billet mounts. I saw somewhere that the mounts need to "settle" in. When they are cold, the motor is louder than my Greddy MX. After the warm up still pretty buzzy. I did not expect the swap to be like stock, but I didn't expect this. Otherwise, It's loud, rides ruff (poly suspension bushings) and vibrates. I love it! The acceleration is great. Anybody else have similar experiences with a B swap?
TIA

anybody going to answer this?

I want to know...I don't want to own a rattle trap.

Seriously..reading about all these vibrations **** me off.

Before I ordered my mounts everybody is like 'yeah hasport is the best blah blah blah'...but now all I read is how BAD they vibrate.

I know for a fact the HCP kit in EF's vibrates VERY VERY little....

I kinda wish I went HCP for my h22 mount kit now. Too late though...I've already knocked off my passenger side frame mount

My buddy did a b16a1 into his CRX with Hasport mounts. This winter it took around a month and a half to settle down. It was unbearable from what he said. Now it is fine.
