Low mileage crankwalk???

[DSMfânâtic]

I searched and searched, and found nothing on this....

can you crankwalk with low miles?
I know there is a chance for it two go twice, but how likely is that with low mileage on a new block?

If you've had it once, I think it'd be stupid t reaplace it with another 7bolt. Crankwalk is kinda blown outta proportion amongst us DSMers. But to be on the safe side, I'd just go w/ a 6bolt block if your needing to replace yours. The chance of it is still there if you don't.

Yes, you can.

According to many people on this board, if you're going to crankwalk, it's going to happen before 70K miles.

Take it to a mechanic(or yourself) and check the endplay of the crankshaft, its the only way your going to know for sure.
