crank walk

hi everybody i'm new to the dsm world and i was wondering what is crank walk and how do you go about fixing it

i know... Search... that solves the netorious crankwalk problem!!! YAY!!!

First off, welcome to the board.
Secondly, PLEASE SEARCH FIRST. This questions has been answered more times than probably any question. Basically, you can't fix crankwalk. The 7 bolt motors in the dsms 92-99 are more prone to crank walk than the 6 bolt motors 92 and under. Half way through the 92 they switched to 7bolts. Please go to the search menu and type in crank walk. I promise you will get results.

Here I just saved you a minute or too haha. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=442393 scroll down a bit it is #3. Happy reading.

This guy claims to have fixed the problem in the 7 bolt motors, so you might talk to him if you need a rebuilt 7 bolt motor

Because when you read further down that page you will read this:

"MY 7 BOLT`S WILL HOLD UP AS GOOD AS THE 6 BOLT !!!. WE HAVE DONE A MODIFICATION FOR THE CRANK WALK / BLOWN THRUST PROBLEM ON THE 7 BOLT ENGINE."

Next time you want to be a smart ass read more than the first line.;) J/P. :icon16:

I talked to this guy, he told me that if my motor crank walks, that he would replace it for free. So I guess you have nothing to loose

well if u get something in writing then I guess its a good deal (whats the price)...I was thrown off by the "HELLO!! I am selling a 2.0L DOHC 1G 4G63" didnt see anything about a 7 bolt but then again I hate reading I just skim :smile:
