i was wondering if anyone has had any crankwalk issues in there evo? maybe i am being paranoid but i recently noticed a slight ticking coming from the pulley side of my motor. it seems like it comes and goes at idle but it definately ticks when the clutch is engaged. could it be something else since i just rebuilt my engine?

 

interested in hearing some answers! gl

 

very rarely have evo motors crank walked i have only heard of one

 

any idea what the ticking could be? i have done some research and besides the ticking i don't really have any other symptoms. hell, everthing in the engine is new.

 

not sure if it matters or not, but i drained the oil and there is no shavings in the drain pan.

 

What kind of clutch do you have in your evo? A very strong pressure plate can cause too much pressure on the bearing and give you crank walk. Had A guy over here in the quad-cities of illinois get crank walk in his yellow evo.

 

act 3200 its pretty basic i wouldnt think it is to much pressure

 

could it be your lifters?

 

and since the clutch is a pull type isn't it less likely that that would be the cause?

 

if you have the heavyduty pressure plate from act you should be ok, but the extreme plate they carry might be too much for your car if its only slightly modded and you have less then 400hp.

 

i thought the lifters too but ut gets louder when the clutch is engaged

 

If you are seriously worried it might be crank walk I suggest you take it to the shop and ask them. Its not really something to mess around with.

 

my mod list is balanced crank wiseco pistons, eagle rods, acl hd main and rod bearings, main studs, head studs, kelford 272's, ets intercooler and hard pipes, ported intake mani, injectors, and other little stuff. if it matters

 

no shops with in 100 miles of me

 

just checked to see if the crank pulley moves when the clutch is pushed in and there is 0 movement so i am assuming that is a good thing?
