Crankwalk in a 1g???

[90GSX182]

So I'm driving my car aound today and I notice when I go around left turns my clutch loses pressure, like almost to the floor but then straightens out. Now this is a telltale sign of crankwalk, but I have a 92 and its not too common. I was told when I bought the car it was a six bolt and the engine has about 300 miles on it.....im scared

Did you check your oil pan to see if its truly a 6 bolt or not?

But otherwise, yes, any engine can get crankwalk.

so pretty much my car is a driving time bomb till it goes? and after a rebuild has this happened?. Ive heard that it will happen between 50-70k on a motor?

It can happen on any engine, even if they were rebuilt. I have seen a case of someone getting crankwalk with a 6 bolt, so it goes to show you that it can happen to any engine.

The whole "crankwalk" problem is not as common as everyone thinks, its just one of those cases that the bad sticks out more than the good.

It is a possibility that you may be experiencing crankwalk. Hopefully that is not the case.

Well I checked the build date on the drivers door and it says it was built in june of 92, so that makes it a 7 bolt . So it really could be crankwalk. Not good.
