Yes, they do tend to sag a bit. And it is normal, although a bit disappointing. You used to be able to buy engine mount bushing adapters that would fit in the the O-200 engine mount ears and allow you to use the smaller rubber bushings for the A series and C-85 engines. I wasn't able to find any available on line with a quick look this evening. The problem you would have doing that now is that were you to change, it would move your engine aft about 3/4" of an inch, likely causing other fit and finish issues with your cowling.
