Vibration problems:  To centre the engine you have to loosen all the
engine mounts with the car being level.  Starting with the back engine
mount (by the exhaust) move the engine around so that the rubber on the
mount is not stretched, then tighten it.  Then proceed to either side
mounts, again move the engine so that the rubber mount is centred
between the metal brackets then tighten and then do the same to the
other side.  Last centre the front mounting bracket and tighten it. 
This should do it.
	Another useful modification I found is that by adjusting the fuel/air
mixture ratio to correct specs decreases vibration significantly.
	Overall the biggest decrease is achieved by having a smoothly runnig
engine, so anything you do to iprove the idle of an engine will decrease
vibrations.
	I find that it's just about impossible to eliminate vibrations while
the engine is cold, I suppose it's in the design.
