crankwalked??? I THINK NO !!

[damageinc0318]

Ive rebuild several dsm motors and had a guy dropped off a 97 gst for a engine. He just wanted a stock 7bolt put back in it,I rebuilt a core and its ready for drop in,when he bought the car he was told it was crankwalked. I tried turning the old motor over with the 1/2" ratchet and it would go half the rotation and stop then the same backwards. Didnt seem crankwalked but when ahead pulled it. I decided to go ahead and pull the parts off it for my stock pile and found a pretty bad explosion to say the least .

Never seen this happen before but it seared the keyway on the crank and spun the timing gear.

Geeze was it stock when he had it? That is the worst ive ever seen.

looks savable.. Just replace the guides in the head and call it a day.. JK that thing is toast.

The car is completely stock, I think the previous owner like to dogg the crap out of it. It had to be at a pretty high rpm when it seared the keyway. Something loosened up that crank bolt

Looks like he maybe over reved it. Like a missed shift or something. But yes that would def. stop the engine from rotating! WOW!

Yep definitely crankwalk

Yikes, those are some good pictures. Those valves must have been hating life before they broke in half, or I should say the crank key. 1 little key goes out and the whole motor ends up toast. =(
