Vibration after new mounts installed...looking for advice
 
I just installed new Barry engine mounts 94011-20
Has gel inserts. I was hoping to get a bit of sag out from the old mounts that have been in for years. Got a bit of a lift, not as much as I wanted. Now I Have an overall increase of frame vibration. I?m going to go with 15-20% more. Is this just due to stiffer mounts? Am I going to see damage to other areas because of raised vibration? Will it subside a bit after mounts get worked in a few more hours?
I did not build my Rv4. I have done extensive work to it. I0360 power, constant speed prop. I do lots of formation routines and light acro with it. Any advice or input would be really appreciated.

Did getting rid of some of the sag bring the engine, baffles or exhaust into contact with any part of the airframe?

Hi,
There was very little sag correction. Half of what I was hoping for . Nothing in contact. Thanks for response.
