The engine in my 80' Westy tends to "rock" back and forth when idling. The rocking is visible-about an inch or two-with the engine hatch open. Occasionally when I'm sitting at a red light I can feel the whole van rocking slightly. Any idea what causes this? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mac-

My idea would be a combination of two things: Rough idle (due to cruddy injectors, engine out of tune, bum O2 sensor, etc.), combined with a couple (or many) bad motor mounts.
