No...

Boeing's expanded procedure:

Make sure the wings' fuel levels are in balance. Make sure the thrust, between the two engines is the same (N1, EPR....whatever), neutral aileron trim. Hold wings level...perfectly level. Watch the heading. Counter any heading drift with rudder trim. Once the airplane holds a constant heading with the wings perfectly level, trim out any wheel force (aileron) with aileron trim.

Airplane out of rig means that the thing may be 'bent'. Or, spoilers may be not completely down, or airlierons may not be faired...or whatever.
