salmon arm,
my engine is about to blow from crank walk. (.017)

i discovered this when i installed a new clutch.
can i do anything to stop this, and if not how do i stop it from happening when it
blows and i have to rebuild
 
best way I know to stop this is to REBUILD BEFORE IT BLOWS UP, it could take out a lot more then just the crank...
 
If you rebuild it it wont stop it. Best way is to replace the engine. I guess this is a good time to do a 6 bolt swap.

yeah, what Lunch_Box said....(I meant to say that) haha
 
so then you're saying 7 bolt engines are useless because there is'nt any way of stopping it
 
No 7 bolt engines aren't useless it only happens to like 20% of all 2G cars. It is so hyped up and everyone thinks it happens to every 7 bolt engine.
