CrankWalk Poll [merged]

[ChrisHKS]

im starting this forum like a poll. i want to know (and sure others too) how many of you tuners have actually gotten crank walk on there 2g and wanna hear all the people that havent. please just leave a reply if u have gotten it or not. thanx-greatly appreciated

just wanna see how common everyone makes it seem

 

[Squigs]

what are some signs of it? Cause i got 139k on mine, nothing yet

 

[turbodsmawd420]

97 GSX 5-Speed 128k miles. Old block showing definate signs of CW. Currently rebuilding new block.

I believe that if it hasn't crankwalked by 80k your good to go, I've had mine for a while and I've been modding it for a few years no problems.

That is merely your mind attempting to rationalize the idea. My 98 GSX was fine until 148k. Some might argue that the 2600 with a 6 puck is what caused it to go south.... Wouldn't know to be exact... However, I have been told by my shop and machinist that since it's early(and I haven't driven my car all winter) I maybe be able to get away with buying a new crank and bearings. I'll have to see when the motor gets torn down this upcoming month...

[TurboTsiThatFly]

[ImportWarrior]

bringing it back from the dead.

crank walk @ 144,000

 

[Defiant]

Thrust bearing wear at 144K is hardly "crank walk", unless it was the only bearing that was worn beyond spec.

 

[SeaveeDSM]

'98 GST 106K miles, original owner. No CW as of yet.

Fairly heavily modified for the first time at about 101K miles - all bolt-on stuff as per my profile and making now about 315 WHP +/-.

 

[95fwdtsi18psi]

this is a dumb question and im new to DSM's but could someone explain what exactly crankwalk is and can an automatic talon get it, if so what are the signs?

 

[dynatos]

you seriously didn't just ask that in a 6 year old 456 post thread, did you? If you can't use the search feature of this site, at least make your own thread.

I searched for 'what crankwalk' and got these handy results:

[zhjiln]

1998 GSX, 153,000+ miles ...no crankwalk with 280HP .....

 

[sleeping95gsx]

I have a 95 GSX that's on the verge of crankwalking (its out of Mitsu's spec). The fact that my car is an automatic is the only thing that's saving it at this point. I was told i could shim it to elongate the life a little longer..but I figure if it's going to happen, it may as well just happen. Im already rebuilding a 6 bolt to drop in anyway

 

[gstryyder]
