is the engine supposed to rock back and forth? is this nomal? at idle the car kinda shakes side to side. its really not that bad and i can live with it, but i just wanted to make sure its not something i need to look into. it did not do it before the cam.

Please don't think I'm trying to be a wise guy.

but

Do you have a broken motor mount?

If so, the cam lope would compound what you are seeing.

not sure. if that were the case, i would think there would be more symptoms, right? i remember one of my previous cars had one that broke and it made a nasty clicking noise that was very noticable.

Broken motor mounts will do many things. Engine shake, various noises, etc.....Check out the rubber and see if it's still intact.

But the motor is not internally balanced, thus there is an inherit "shaking or vibration" to it. But a miss at idle will cause this as well.

lol, it's probably just cam lope, which is sweet!
check the motor mounts (the rubber part between the motor and the frame) as well as the transmission mount, and if they're fine, and don't seem to be squishing too much or anything, you just have a sweet lope!
