yes it will move like that, the crank snout is the only thing that will keep it concentric. just make sure you read how to put it on right. the gears have a beveled edge and go in one way. once its on use a feeler guage to check your outer clearance. then pack it full of vaseline..i mean full. it creates a suction and lubes the the mating surfaces so no dry start up. i had almost instant oil pressure on a brand new dry start up when i assembled my motor.

you pack it into the gears, then put the cover back on. do your feeler guage check first of course. do a search on here ..tons of threads to make sure your pointed in the right direction.
