Real newbie question

[Civi]

Ok i am extremely new at all of this. I hear alot of people talking about crank walk, what does this mean?

 

[sarge]

side to side movement of the crank caused by worn down crappy journal bearings

if you get it you are FUBAR

Does that make a rumble sound when the car is running? Because my driver's ed teachers Corolla makes noise like a t-storm whenever its on. Or is it something you get when your car is good, unlike the Corolla?

 

[sarge]

it sounds kinda like a hollow tapping sound. like louder harder lifter tick. there used to be a sound clip of it somewhere.

 

[sarge]

crankwalk ranks up there along with throwing rods and melting pistons in terms of suckiness

it sounds like a wood pecker pecking on the side of your block
