Just got crankwalk

[michal_gs-t]

ehhhh

Yesterday I drove into a hole on road and suddenlly 2 belts fell (AC and alternator).
but ok, I put them back in, started the car , some strange noises... and the belt brokes...

I started a car without those 2 belts again and when I was pressing cluth "this" strange clicking noise started comming from timing belt area

Eariler I had a clutch issiues (on left corners) and crank pulley had some movment but I didn't think it will ever happen to me

What do you guys reccomend to do now? Assuming this is 100% crankwalked blok ???

Is it nessesary to buy a block now , or just put a size larger crank bearings?

1) Search for a 7bolt 2G block? ( will there be any more parts needed besides block?)
2) buy 1 g 6bolt block...but I thinks that it will generate much more costs..and this is not good...
3) buy 4G64 block from Galant? what else is needed?
4) sell the car as broken ..?
5) .........

Thanks for your help.

I would first make sure that it is indeed crankwalk. The crank pulley movement could have been from the crank pulley taking a dump and that could be why you keep slinging belts.

Crank walk is more common on the 95-96, somewhat on the 97, and seldom on the 98-99 4G63.

Don't check crank movement from the pulley itself. Take the pulley off and measure from the pulley hub on the crank.

I have 99 eclipse but my engine was rebuild with another block and I don't know made year of this block....

OK I will take off pulley and check movment but I'm pretty sure it's crankwalk.

Left corners and now ticking noise when pressing clutch....

I dont know why everyone is so quick to say that their car "walked" on them, not saying that it did'nt but my money would be put on whatever caused this "Yesterday I drove into a hole on road and suddenlly 2 belts fell (AC and alternator).

Drain your oil and check for metal. I would think the pulley went bad before Crankwalk since this happened after you hit a pot hole pretty rough..

Replace your harmonic balancer.

Doesn't sound like crankwalk to me, I lean towards the Harmonic Balancer like what has been said earlier, I have a 1996 Talon which had that problem.

You guys were right, crank pulley torn apart

So this time I saved a bit of cash... but I still have left corners clutch pedal issue....

only left...

crankwalk?

Whoa!! please explain that last comment for us alittle bit better could you?

I think he's saying that his clutch sticks to the floor on left turns...

AAhhh, well then it does sound like one of the symptoms of crankwalk.

Question.
When its said that the clutch sticks to the floor around left turns...how hard of a left are you making and what do you mean it sticks to the floor...are you depressing the clutch whilie turning or is the pedal just falling to the floor?

Also while driving today for some reason (straight line) when i pushed in the clutch after i revved it up the pedal went about a half inch farther down than it usually does.....kinda has me worried now!

could just be your clutch master cylinder.

Since the clutch places pressure on the crankshaft, alot of people have reported clutch or shifting problems associated with the walking crank. Having the clutch 'stick' down on left-hand turns is often a telltale sign of crankwalk. This is why I stated this in an earlier post to you. Other symptoms include inconsistent engagement height, poor or rough engagement, difficulty shifting, ticking noises and varying pedal height or pressure. Another possibility is having the engine RPM decrease significantly when the clutch pedal is down. These are just a few of the symptoms, please understand that they also can be diagnosed as other problems.

Another problem with crankwalk is that the crankshaft may move so much as to literally tear up and destroy the 2G crankshaft angle sensor. This problem usually manifests itself as a ticking noise coming from the timing belt area, as the sensor is literally and slowly ground away by the crankshaft. Any such noise should be investigated right away to prevent serious problems. I fear yours maybe in the later stages.

Unfortunately, cranshaft angle sensor failure usually leads to a replacement sensor, rather than a replacement crankshaft, as mechanics fail to diagnose the underlying problem. Alot of 2G owners who've experienced earily failure of the crankshaft angle sensor should investigate the possibility of crankwalk as soon as possible, just to be on the safe side.
