ok understood.
I've presently just found a bit of piston ring as being one of the things which might be causing it to lock up, so yes, it might be moving from the "sustainable re-using what you have" towards "problems I can live without" depending on what damage is in there.
Presumably the design of the casting feet for rubber mounting means it would be unwise NOT to rubber-mount just to help get the correct line if you did such an operation.
