I don't know how many people saw my last post but I recently rebuilt my 4g63t and in less than 2k miles it developed crank walk so I have to rebuild it again I'm looking for some tips to prevent it from happening again and what I should look for when pulling it apart that I may need to replace
1 I noticed when I pulled it apart the first time the crank bearings were worn more that the rod bearings which tells me they were getting less oil does any one know how to fix this
2 is it true that having a crank with different clearances for the mains and rods will cause crank walk my machine shops sucks and will charge me an arm and a leg to get them to match
3 I used clevite bearings on my rebuild as I do plan to get a mild tune and didn't want to go with race bearings and have to replace them often as this car sees 100 miles a day is there a better bearing to go with
4 will I have to buy a new crank I know the bearings are the parts that wear but the crank has to wear a little right ?
5 a rebuild should fix this problem if the bearings aren't worn out completely?
Any tips you think will help me make my next rebuild successful will help me and maybe someone else
