Thank you for stating what is already known. Hence the name "Engine stop
shocks". They do assist a little in preventing overall shaking during idle
btw. That still does not give me any ideas about why my final shake has
returned with new shocks, and new mounts.

Well FYI the only thing the shocks are for is to prevent that final
shake when shutting down.

The collective wisdom,
Ok so last week I changed out my engine shocks, engine mounts and did a
valve clearance adjustment. To my amazement my car ran perfectly
afterward.
No shaking etc. The most noticeable improvement was when I turned my car
off
the whole car no longer shook back and forth on that final swing of the
engine. It was nice; I turn key, engine stops, no car shaking. Within two
days one of the engine shock mounts failed under the new pressure of
working
engine shocks. I had to drive around a few days with the shock free
standing because I had to wait for the new shock mounts to come in. After
replacing the mounts now my engine has resumed the old "final shake" when
I
turn it off. What the hell!? I was soo happy. My current theories are as
follows. The rubber on the old mounts was so soft and worn out (because
they
were about to fail, which they did) that I was getting the illusion of a
soft stop. Or me driving it around for a few days with out shocks (because
of the failed mount) caused something else to go wrong. Any ideas? I
want
my shake free stop back!!
