crank walk??? or paranoid???

[Boostified]

Ok so when i took my tranny out and took my flywheel off and put my shiny new fidanza on. I pull and pushed on my new flywheel after I got it on and it pulled back and forth about an 1/2 an inch to an inch and I had a buddy look on the pulley side and he said my pulley was moving with it..... is this crank walk? I know there should be a small amount of movement, but this seems like alot!

It isn't moving a half inch, the engine would of grenaded itself long ago if you had half an inch of thrust play, but it out of spec if you can actually move the crank in and out like that. So technically your engine is crankwalked.

I promise you its ATLEAST! a half inch

I think your answer is pretty obvious then. Dont see how you couldn't have noticed anything driving.

Can you post a video of you doing this?

How did the car sound/run before this? You should have been able to CLEARLY hear knocking with that much play...
