knock=crankwalk

[trbotaln]

I have a 95 talon tsi and I was wondering since i am getting really good timing on my car with no knock does that mean that I most likely do not have crankwalk. Their are 70k on the motor and it runs great but I was just curious.

You don't have crankwalk, but it has nothing to do with knock.

If everything is ok then you don't have crankwalk however excessive knock can pulverize bearings causing them to spin etc.. Lots of knock won't give you crank walk it will simply blow up your motor, ie: Rod will snap or bearing will spin.
