Re: Question about crankwalk?

As things stand now, there is no 100% cure for crankwalk. There are many theorys to what actually causes it and a few have believed to prolong the effects of crankwalk. One theory is that the bearings do not allow the proper amount of oil needed for proper lubrication. Another major theory is the whole thrust bearing theory. Some motors crankwalk and others don't. They say that if the car makes it past the 50k mile mark then your usually safe. BUT, mine was at 105k when it crankwalked. Mind you though that I added a heavier clutch at about 90k miles. That gave it about 15k miles of extra strain that it obviously didn't like. Which puts it at about the 10-30k mile mark to when most of them actually crankwalked... If all that makes sense. So really your taking a gamble on getting a 2g... Are ya feelin lucky? lol
