Default 1995 Honda Accord V-Tec shakes at idle

My wife's 1995 Honda Accord EX V-Tec has a very annoying shake at idle. The shaking does go away when the car is moving. I checked the two side motor mounts and they are in good condition. I replaced the front bottom motor mount as the bushing had a crack in it, but this did not make the shaking go away. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong? Bent valve, broken motor mount elsewhere like a tranny mount? It is so noticeable that passengers in the back seat can also feel the annoying shake.

VTEC, not V-Tec

What's the idle like? Constant or oscillating and at what RPM?

The idle is constant. No bouncing up and down. If I bring the idle up to about 1K with the gas, the shaking slightly goes away and doesn't disappear until I begin moving. Otherwise the idle is somewhere around 700.
