Why and please be specific.

Thanks

so few cars walk, if your car is going to walk it will walk with the new crank. I believe its the blocks that are the cause them to walk, as apossed to the usual cause being a thrust bearing. I wouldnt worry about it, any motor can walk our situation is blown WAY out of proportion.

so it's the block not the crank?

No one knows for sure what it is.

It is thought by many to be caused by the oil squirters in the 7bolt blocks. The link and a search for 'crankwalk' should yield much information.

no one can answer you, because no definite proof has been documented. However many engine rebuild failures are because of the builder and not the parts. Although I personally would have more piece of mind with a 6 bolt. Its not that much harder if you are already going to rebuild.
