I Think Its Crankwalk

[spadepro22]

Most say its over rated, most say its not the problem, crankwalk this, crankwalk that. Well I've had a little issue with my clutch pedal losing pressure every now and then. I've researched it a lot and a sign was turning left and the pedal pressure goes low. So, I found a open parking lot and just kept going in circles pushing down on the clutch and it did'nt do it everytime, but it did it enough to make me think its crankwalk I have'nt check end play yet because the motor was just rebuilt and put in less the 900 miles ago and I out of cash to go right back and pull the tranny. Flame away!

isnt CW a little hard to happen that fast? if the kid doesnt know how to work on his car how can you clam CW is the problem?? not bashing on the OP but thats most cases people dont know how to work on the basics let alone the internals of a motor. i had my built motor in 3 different cars before I finally got to drive it. so dont give up learn more about your car and rule out what you know isnt wrong.

I can help you check your car over if you need to. It'd be better if I had it at my shop where I have everything I need to do whatever I need. Just let me know. You have my #. You don't have CW imo.

These kind of threads are how thrust bearing failure gets blown out of proportion. Why not check for end play before starting the thread?

Started the thread because of the left turn symptoms of cw.

CW can strike whenever. I don't have to be able to build a motor to claim cw, I understand how things work. Its just crazy how the left turn and pedal pressure loss to me. Thats why I say CW.

Hope its not, but you have bled the clutch, shop has bled the clutch, me and a partner has bled the clutch. The pedal feels great except for left turns.

so you have had CW happen to you before?? just because you lose clutch pressure imo doesnt mean much. especially since you havnt tried to re-bleed it.

Re-bled it? Its been re-bled 4 times. I haven't had it before, but I'm not the one that said if you lose pressure when making left turns you have crankwalk either. Thats been stated on this site alot, so thats where I got my opinion from.

I feel your pain. 300 miles after i got a full rebuild my car started knocking on rod 3. More money, more time, over 10k invested and everytime i drive im thinking "what next" . I sure hope its not walking, though the way you describe it, it does not sound good. It gets old pumping money into these things but still, for the power they can make, they are sooooo cheap to own. Im going to be happy if i can get 20k miles out of an engine. Thats enough for 3 or 4 yrs for me.

Man it sucks. The worst part is I've invested all this money and haven't got to enjoy the rebuild because of a knock issue that we can't figure out. Want to say its phantom but with is car you never know.

I've gotten 24k out of my engine last year alone. 300+ miles every weak. Thats usually the least number. Measure twice, build once.

Yes i bled it, but that was before it went to that shoo again. It was perfectly bled when I did it. The only issue was the bushing then. If you jerk in the crank pulley towards you then when you push back on it and it doesn't move then its not crank walk.

Get someone to push in the clutch while you try to push/pull on it if you can't move it either way its not cw.
