Not a problem if the desired specs were achieved during an alignment.

The Left vs. Right sides will usually have different shim stack quantities. It is weird not having any shims. But if it's working (you don't have to fight it driving down the road & it's not eating up tires) then you're probably fine.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
