How do you know it crankwalked? Sounds like it could be a number of things...

Pssh! I don't know when mine is going to go. And it's all stock!

 

[black_eclipse96]

the noise is coming straight crank pully. pulled everything apart and reved a little and it seems to be coming from that area. could the oil pump be causing this noise. mine is all stock except a greddy fmic and types bov

This doesn't sound like crankwalk at all from your description, sounds like a spun bearing.

 

[kottyking]

^exactly what i was getting at.

If you had crankwalk serious enough to damage your motor, you could probably grab the crank pulley and shift the crank back and forth with your own hands.

Yeah, don't write it off as crankwalk just because it is known in the 2g's. Check the crank for play, is your clutch acting fine?

You.....................need to read. And learn some stuff.

+1 on spun bearing.

How does the crank pulley look? Sometimes the rubber separates from the metal and it makes an awful clunking/rattle etc.

I just picked up a 95 Talon AWD with crankwalk. The car runs fine and makes not noises except when you push in the clutch you can hear a very faint metallic clicking noise and the engine stalls. Im not exactly sure why everyone thinks their car is walking when its making any kind of ticking/knocking/squeeling noise. Check for endplay on the crank and that will give you your answer. FYI mine is waaaaaaaaay out of spec and doesnt make noise like what you are describing.

is correct. you definitely dont hear those noises with crankwalk.

edit: i shouldnt say definitely, but in MOST cases.

check if the harmonic balancer separated, pull the head off and check your valves, at the very least attempt to move your crank around.

okay the rubber on the pulley is a little worn but still good. Okay i know that crankwalk is way over rated. Every now and then the clutch will act funny, but i also read that those symptoms don't apply all the time.

This is one of the main reason why crankwalk is so widely known, ricers with 2gs blame everything on crankwalk.

always everyones first reaction when a 2g makes any kind of noise simple way to check have someone rev the car as u watch the crank pulley see if it moves from side to side at all or get in the car take a sharp rght turn and push clutch in and see if it has less pressure than when driving in strait line

Leave for a month and we are posting tech articles in the hangout?

I would definately look into the timing components. I heard a similar noise and it ended up being a BS belt wrapped around the crank gear. It eventually (a day or so) took out the Crank sensor bent the trigger plate (95-96) and a piece took a ride up and knocked out the CAM sensor as well.

Bad ju ju. I would definately look into the issue before you do further damage.

Wouldn't say ricer, but am a newbie. Still in the process of learning.
Okay replaced the crank pully with a oem pully. The sound was still there for a second and then just stopped. i do want to say sorry for even using the c word.

thanks everyone, will keep yall updated if it comes back
