It says im from Louisiana, yes I know, but i actually I just moved here from Colorado and there is a website called rocky mountian dsm ( www.rmdsm.org )and there is a guy who has found the "fix" to crankwalk. No he will not tell a soul but here is what he starts out by saying on his thread, and his pricing. Im sorry i could not post this anywhere else, it says I'm a rookie. Read before you doubt.
"Hello all. I thought I'd toss this out there in case any of you have good engines you want to save. I found a fix for the crank walk problems that plague Mitsu engines. I am not some kid like you see all over the web thinking I found a solution here, I know the fix works and have already done it to a few engines to be sure. As some of you may know, I have been running a small Mitsu shop for a little while now and have been rebuilding engines for years. We average about three engine builds a week here and I have been fighting to find a solution to the crank walk issue on the 7-bolts. The solution I found that works is something that I see nobody else has tried, er at least that I can see on the web. I have heard of people cutting blocks apart, taking out oil squirters, changing bearings, and people trying to change the way oil gets to the crank. They were all way off. The engine pumps plenty of oil. I am offering my fix to anyone that wants it and I know it works so well that I will guarantee for the life of the engine that it will NEVER walk again! If you have a new or old 7-bolt or 6-bolt, 4G63 or 4G64, 3S, any Mitsu that is walking, my fix will work. This fix cost me a lot of money and time to figure out, so, as a business, I have to try to make my money back on this investment. Prices for the repair are as follows:
4G63 2.0-2.3L and 4G64 2.4L+:
Engine in car $400 AWD $350 FWD.
Engine out of car $200.
6G72 TT or NA:
Engine in car $450AWD $300 FWD.
Engine out of car $200.
I have already done the mod to crank walking engines in all families and they all worked great including a 3S.
This is a good solution to all of you that can't afford a 6-bolt OR that have a perfect 7-bolt that has crank walk as the only problem. Shoot, even those of you that have spent a fortune building a forged 7-bolt that is now walking could save it easily with my mod and save a lot of money too The 7-bolts only flaw was crank walk. Now that it is no longer an issue, the 7-bolt is now a much stronger engine to play with unlike the 6-bolt that is known to break 2.0L and 2.3L #4 bearing journals at the crank.
Problems getting the mod from me:
I am the only one that knows how to do it and I will take this secret with me to my grave. I have worked too hard to figure this out and I will not give it away, sorry, but that's the way life goes. Anyone that wants this done has to either drop the car off at my shop, or bring the engine down. If you end up in the future having to rebuild the engine for other reasons, (you will never have to rebuild because of crank walk anymore) the engine will have to be brought back down to me for the modification again. I will not charge you for doing it a second time if you need to do something else with that engine, that will be a freebee. Just a reality check here- if anyone is planning on having my mod done, and then taking it apart to find the solution will be disappointed. The problem is fixed by performing 4 different modifications to the block, bearings and crank. If you don't copy all 4, you are SOL.
One more note- if you want this mod for the prices listed above, the engine needs to have crank walk as the ONLY PROBLEM! If you have a spun rod bearing, scored crank (needs to be turned), or just a blown/tired engine, the engine will need a rebuild first then the mod can be performed. Many 7-bolt forged rod engines will spin a bearing if the crank walked too far, which means you will need a new rod and possibly crank before the crank walk mod. If your engine does need a full rebuild, you're in luck, because we do those too, and any engine we build from now on has a lifetime warranty against CW.
So bring those old 7-bolts out that are collecting dust on your garage! My phone number is 719-243-5305 located in C/S and please leave a message. I don't get on the web much, so please give me time to respond if you email/PM. Thanks!
