To my knowledge, yes. When Safir P1116 was asembled the input shaft bottomed on the crank recess and wped out the thrust bearings in short order. I think the extra length is only .20/.25 but enough to cause a problem. Solution was to machine the end of the input shaft and re-machine the tapered end.
