when i startup my car is kinda shakes for about one second. then everything is fine. idles fine, runs fine, just that one second that it shakes pretty bad on startup. why? engine is old, 110k miles..could this be the reason?

thanks

Could be a bit crusty around the seals with goopy build-up and takes a second or so to free and get compression again?

Try running upper cylinder lubricant/cleaner or similar thorugh it and see if it improves? If you're that bothered by it.
