crankwalk?

My main pully is pulling twords the engine slicing through the plastic cover. Is this the crankwalk stuff people talk about. 91 eagle talon TSI.

It is really hard to say withoout seeing, but the amount that the crank "walks" is not a matter of inches, it is a matter of millimeters. It is also fairly rare for a 1G car with a 6 bolt engine to crankwalk. I would make sure that your timing covers, etc were fastened properly.

The AC/idler belt jumped the pully and sandwidged itself between the pully and the plastic cover. I cut it away and then had the enging started. The pully moved out a little and then back in to original spot. Now it is slowly cutting away the plastic cover like it is pulling itself in or something.
