No you shouldn't. Symptoms can be found on the site (just search, there are a million threads on the topic). RPM drop on clutch disengagement and clutch to the floor on left turns are common ones. The only want to tell for sure is to measure crank end play.

No. Not again.

No you should not. The percentage that 7bolts actually crankwalk is so minimal it's ridiculous. Any motor can crankwalk, I walked my 6bolt, but the chance that it will happen should not worry you at all. Built it up, and have some fun.

Any engine can have thrust bearing failure (including Hondas!) and the internet has blown it way out of proportion for DSMs.

I'd be more worried about the timing belt at 120K if it hasn't been changed recently.

95-96 are the only ones that are notorious. Some of them do, some don't.

Alright thank you everyone for the help, still debating whether i want to sell this and make some money off it now and get a 2g or stay with the 1g.

rarely to never happens. especially concerning 1gs. if it happens you most likely won't see it coming.

Unless you check the end playregularly, which couldn't hurt to do, but again it's unlikely.
