Crankwalk diagnosed! What to do?

[Yoda_95TSI]

Well the dealer called and said I have crankwalk, yay! They want $4K to for a new small block and all the trimings. What's the best option I've got here? Reman motor? New motor? There are so many posts on this in this forum. I really don't want to spend $4K, but will if I have to.

$4 grand??? Holy sheeeeot! You can get a low mileage 6 bolt for a fraction of that. Just shop for a 6 bolt on dsmtrader and slap that badboy in before its too late.

What does putting a 6 bolt engine get me over a 7 bolt?

a 6 bolt motor will reduce the chance of getting a cw again. looking at all the shortblocks for sale it seems that bj's have the best prices.

Bear in mind that you can't just stick a 6-bolt shortblock under a 7-bolt head. If you want to do this, you need to do a "6-bolt conversion". Check out Magnus Motorsports ..
