I've heard alot of myths about crankwalk. I think it's talked about more than it actually happens. Some things I've heard

-95-96 DSMs have a higher chance of crankwalk
-ACT 2500 and 2600 clutchs raise the probability

Can someone once and forall clear up these myths/truths and list some preventions of this feared problem OMG
 
NO...


and this is why.

it's been discussed to death for the last 9 years all over the infoweb.

Try a search, here or anywhere else and you can read ALL about it yourself, and make up your own mind as to the cause.

I favor the magnus block/cooling squirter feed idea since there was a revised block in 98.
 
oh and prevention, change oil regularly and never start the car with your foot on the clutch.
if it happens it happens. :cry:
