Subject:Re: The Van's a-rockin' (sorry no porn content)

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?

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.
