2g engine rebuild

[sven7884]

ive got about 105000 miles on my gst right now and i want to prevent crankwalk for a little longer. what exactly is done in a rebuild that fixes crankwalk. i know the oil squirters are the culprit of crankwalk can you get away with just replacing them? THANKS FOR ANY INFO>

There is no proven cause for crankwalk, only theories. Replace or block off your oil squirters and make sure the thrust bearing is properly aligned and then pray.

Thread moved.

pray and then pray some more.

If you really want to learn do a search on the crankwalk fix by one of our members then check out magnus for their info.

But what I would suggest is to get a bucket of cluck because their is alot of reading.

Dam 2g's...
Just like women...
The best looking ones always have problems on the inside...

LMFAO!!! That needs to be quoted. My crank walked and my girl left me.

Dont rebuild the 7-bolt. You're just wasting your money. Go get yourself a 6-bolt and prepare it to be swapped when the 7-bolt walks.

not all 7 bolts walk... I believe the survey was about 30%?

Sounds like the next big hit country soung!

I've done it both ways. I've rebuilt the 7bolt. Now I'm going 6 bolt. Believe me, just do it right the first time. Get the 6bolt. It doesn't cost anymore to go 6 bolt is you can locate one that is already running, that is short block, than to rebuild the 7bolt shortblock. And don't worry about the better flowing 1g head. A little port work and the 2g can flow just as well. You can PM me for more info on my swap.

would the evoIII motor "drop in"?

last time i glanced at the EVO motor, things were backwards, so i dont think so

yeah you "glanced" at the evo4++. what about the evo3s and down? correct me if im wrong but the evo3s and down are the same position as dsms.

 

[skier_du]

yes, an evo III motor will fit in a 2g.

 

[Squackdiddy]
