Possibly. I can't see what the rest of the story would be. But then I
have far less experience in these matters.

All I can figure is that somehow, *they* figure there's stress
introduced into the drivetrain if the engine and transmission are
installed separately that somehow exacerbates the vibrations already
present. But that's obviously a "shot in the dark" guess.
