crank walk?

i have a 97 gsx with 124,000 miles in it i bought and it was suppost to have crank walk but i found out the the water pump pulley was on backwards and theyjust put a new water pump and timing beltc so that was why it was throwing belts but now that i have got the pulley fixed i'm trying to found out if it has crank walk or not i only paid 2000 for the car and its in great shape so i think the guy that was working on it was trying to screw the guy over any tips will help thanks guys

Throwing belts isn't really a sign of crankwalk. A fast ticking sounds, clutch to goes to the floor when you turn and thust bearing play are what you need to look for.

does the clutch petal go to the floor by itself in a turn or only when you depress it in a turn

when u depress it will stick to the floor or it stick to floor during hard left turn one of the 2 I forgot
either it sounds like this http://www.eclipsegsx.com/downloads/crankwalk.wav

Signs of the final stages of crankwalk:

Ticking noise coming from the crankpully area as the CAS plate chews up the sensor.

Or

Clutch sticks to the floor durring a hard left turn (Weight transfer sloshes the crank towards the clutch and there isnt enough room in the bellhousing fore the pressure plate to disengage)

If you want to check crank walk for sure, you have the check the crank end play. Pull your oil pan (follow the directions in the manual if you don't know how) and take a flat head screw driver. Put it in between the crank and one of the caps and try to wiggle it. If the crankshaft moves, you are outta luck, if it doesnt, you are good to go.

Peace.

I've had crankwalk for 1 year 10 months now...still driving it, but getting ready to take it into the dealer for a new motor...It's still driveable, but yet one of the worse cases people in our club have seen...I installed a SS clutch line to remove the restrictor...shifts like a dream now...it's never felt so good...but of course, it could go any day now...:(
