So I am fully building my 7 bolt and no a 6 bolt is not an option. I don't have crankwalk currently. I heard most rebuilt 7 bolts will get crankwalk and was wondering if I can eliminate that problem for me. Would it be possible to prevent crankwalk on a 7bolt by changing the crank ?
 
If it hasnt crankwalked already then your doing fine. Just make sure you get all the oil galleys clened and flushed and make sure your oil squirters are clean. Get everything machined properly and check your tolerences. Follow the correct assembly procedures and torques and you should be fine. Crankwalk is EXTREMELY exaggerated.
 
No need for all of that. Just use your stock crank and get it polished. Whoever told you most rebuilt 7-bolts crankwalk obviously isn't very DSM educated. You are starting threads on a lot of trivial questions that could easily be answered by searching through the forums. Best BOV, best o2 housing, best manifold, all these have been discussed time and time again.
