I just had my motor heads shaved and put back on plus my head gaskets changed, now my motor rocks or shakes while idling. The steering wheel does NOT shake, the car shakes and sort of putts while at idle only. It runs fine while at speed. Also the exhaust has a stronger gasy smell than normal, maybe cause it is putting. HELP!!! My mechanic can not firgure this out. Maybe you can give me somehting to go on.
