what exzactly is crankwalk? and how do you identify if you have it? Also how do you measure the cylinders or where do you go to have that done to see how the bottom end of the engine is holding up??
 
Please do a quick search on the subject. There are enough posts on this to keep you busy for months on end.

In short, it is a condition where your crankshaft eats through the thrust bearing on your bottom end. This causes side to side play in your crankshaft. Measure the in and out play in your crankshaft to see if it is with-in spec or not. It isn't as common as people play it out to be, but it is a condition to be aware of.
