Absolutely. When you think about machinery - especially an engine - and all the internal forces and stresses it is withstanding hundreds of times a second; the more you can avoid adding to those stresses, the better !
Those of us who have stripped old car engines down and sometimes found bad news and failures, understand that even more !
