CrankWalk

[talongod]

Ok my 95 tsi has Crankwalk and i was wondering if i got a new crank shaft if that would solve the problem or if i need a whole new engine or if there is any kit in rebuiling the crank shaft or something?!?!?!?

dont mess with that shitzu man....just get yourself a sixbolt motor and forget about crank walk cause odds are that if you do replace the crank or whatever it will happen again..
i did the swap and damn,,i dont regret any penny spent on it...

If you even attempt at fixing your motor you will be making another post 5000miles from now saying your rebuilt motor crankwalked. You need to either get a working 7-bolt and drop that in, or do a 6-bolt swap. Either way your swapping a motor.

i think the easiest way to rid yourself of a walked dsm is to part it out. You could buy a working 7bolt but they are going to be pricey and they are not easy to find. My uncle from cali works at a junkyard (manager) and bought this GSX, he had it sitting at the shop for like 6months cause he couldnt find a seven bolt to make it run, it too had walked. Finally he found one but he didnt say how much it was for the motor but he drove the car for a few months and sold it for lik 3000.
If you really want to make money off it, just part it out. I would, cause like i said no one, unless a hardcore dsmtuner, will buy your car. However, if you want to keep it then do a sixbolt swap, find a six bolt with decent mileage on it drop it in as it is and buy the dsmlink and be done with it.

good luck man
