Early 95's no crankwalk? Confused..please help.

[TheEclipseGuy]

Ok, I have been looking for a 2g 4g63. I always read on the forums, that the early 95's don't get crankwalk. Someone last week posted on 2gnt, that the early 95's that did not get crankwalk have a small label under the hood on the passenger side firewall saying "DSM", and the older 95's and up to 99 say "mitsubishi" on the firewall. So I went to look at 95 GS-T the other day, it said the "DSM" on the firewall. But back on 2gnt, they now say it dont matter, I don't know whats up, can someone please clarify if they know the differnece, on the 95's with the "dsm" and "mitsu" sticker on the passenger side fiewall. Thanks

i had a 2g early 95...produced late 94..it was starting to crankwalk. caught the problem early. had thrust bearings replaced, and new oil pan

Regardless of what year 2G it is, all of the 7 bolts are known to have a good chance of walking.

The 93-94 7 bolts out of the 1G's are MUCH less prone to crankwalk than the 95+. I'm still standing by my theory that the 90-94 have higher iron content in the block, and then Mitsu cheaper out for 95+. The block itself twisting and flexing is the reason you are getting your crankwalk.

I have a DSM labeled 95 Tsi: Crankwalked.
