"... Determined cause to be broken crankshaft position sensor. Cause of broken sensor is excessive crankshaft end play (approximately .050 of an inch), which is enough for the pick up plate to come out of alignment and break the sensor.

You can do all that stuff to yor 7 bolt but theres still a good chance it will crank walk...it may not but the chance is obviously much greater than a 6 bolt. The 6 bolt swap is more what i would go for if i was you. Its not that difficult to do the swap, im sure theres a bunch of how to's on this site if you search. :thumb:
