Is it worthy to fix a crankwalk?

Just as the topic says, is it worthy? After the fix is there a way it wont happen again.

Just a little background. My car teared up the balance shaft so i think the timing belt skipped some teets, it broke the crankshaft sensor and bended 8 valves. After the rebuild, i ran the car about 1.5k miles.

I started the car today and i made a nasty sound, so i took out the key, then try it again and it wont start ( the engine turns). So i think it blew the sensor again.

Also i was having bad shifting.

MAN I WANT TO :cry:




:dsm:
 
Just replaced 8 valves, waterpump, belts, tensioner, rollers, sparks. Thats it, actually not a rebuild, just the head.
 
^^ haha @ that


perhaps this could possibly be your problem with crankwalk?

What makes you think its crankwalk? You could have skipped some timing again or something, ussally crankwalk gives you time before your engine just goes. You probably dont even need to worry about crankwalk, it is very overrated on these forums anyways.
 
Yup maybe ur right, i have read to much of this crankwalk, and every problem i have with the
car, the first thing to come to my mind is "crankwalk". Maybe i just have to relax.



And the head is related to the crank, as far as i know the head dont move alone, is the little crank down there who make it work.
