Hey friends. I'm just about to replace my Clutch and I'm afraid to be a crankwalk victim. It will be a heavier than stock (Xtd Stage 4) and I've heard the heavier clutches tend to press the crank and make it "walk". Is there any truth to this?

It's a 7bolt...
 
If its going to happen its going to happen the clutch wont make a difference. people blame all their 7 bolt issues on crankwalk when in reality any motor can walk even 6 bolts and Auto's so id put whatever clutch you want in there it wont be an issue.
 
Crankwalk doesn't even happen that often, most the of time it happens by user error, example: "oil pump failed cause lack of oil, then it's ignored and beaten" Or something dumb. Or if you're THAT worried about it switch to a 6 bolt or a 98-99 7 bolt.

The 6 bolt was made with a stronger metal
Crankwalk was pretty much fixed by 1998.

It can still happen, but the probability is lessened with the 2 above options.

Not saying it can't happen for no reason either, but improbable.
