There is info on CW EVERYWHERE, but unfortunately 90% of it is wrong. So be careful what you read.

Keep in mind that bove thread is grossly oversimplified and seems to be implying 1Gs didnt get crankwalk, lol. At any rate, my link above would work if you remove the comma at the end. I didnt mean to put that there obviously. I'm tired of explaining this, so here is that actual thread I did a while back. Enjoy.

Put VERY simply [crankwalk for dummies style of simple] Crankwalk is when the crank bearings wear excessivly, meaning the cranbk can move too much 'sloshing' back and forth in it's mountings and basically causing serious engine damage
