'99 7 bolts crankwalk free?

What's crankwalk?

It's the codeword for the Stig to run when one of the many women he has impregnated is looking to find him and sue him for child support....its the only time he is known to shed his white suit and helmet at the speed of light and becomes Average Man. He then disappears like a ghost into the crowds that surround him, and makes sure he's away, where he then sheds that suit to become The Stig again.

That's not true the code word for me to run is run...

I saw it on mythbusters once... It's a myth.

. I'm watching mythbusters right now. It's dealing with cars as well. "Dirty vs.'s clean car" .

Some guy was telling me about how his 96 (crank sensor on the thin reluctor plate) got such a bad case of crank walk that the pulley moved so far it rubbed the frame of the car.

You missed the one on crankwalk?

That seems a little far fetched. The crank has a hard time running with 1/4" of play. You would need about 2"-3" to hit the frame.

I'd call bullshit on that guy.

SO.....I suppose it's safe to say that if you buy any DSM, 1990-1999, it comes with a free case of crankwalk in the hatch. I call this thread resolved.

[JFZERO ECLIPSE]

Plausable sounds more like it ....It happens to some, but not the majority of us.....

Well excluding myself that is....

 

[gixxerdrew]

Crank walk turned out to be a myth. That's basically the end of the story.

 

[yungjon23]

HAHA there should be a way to put "MYTH" in the title of this thread instead of "RESOLVED" like in the tech/newbie section
