Crank & baring questions...

[Powers_Vang]

I was wonding that if I bought the light weight crank from Buscher & new Mitsubishi barings...would that help stop crankwalk? I've read almost all postings & articles about crankwalk but yet nothing of after market parts solution.

I'm thinking that I might have crankwalk & I'm doing research. I've read some articles about the 2g bottom end not getting enough oil & other articles say that the crank was machined off a little.

I have a complete 90 GSX on my hands with a blown head gasket. I'm debating between either just fixing my car OR doing a swap.

If I do a swap will the 6 bolt line up with the 2g tranny. Some say yes & others say there will be drillin involved & some screw holes need to be filled & re-tapped. So which is it?

Thanks..I'm sort of confused which way to go. Don't point be back to the crankwalk section cause it mostly complaints & experiences. I might have crankwalk & I'm looking for the best soltution.

Nope. Or, maybe. Trouble is that no one knows what the trouble is. I've heard about three theories that I don't just reject as being either occasional-case, or absurd: Bad metal, bad maching, or bad machining of not enough metal. The oil squiter idea doesn't convince me, nor do I generally blame the Silent Shafts, although in those cases where it's been the cause, it's been the cause.

There's no more a "stop" to crankwalk than there is a "cause".

Many, many, many 7-bolt motors are going on and on and on.

Some help.

most people will be politicians with the crank walk problem, avoid the issue completely is the correct answer.
