Hii question about a car I want to buy...
hey. i've researched the crank walk, and got the problems/symptoms. the guy said it has no problems, and no accidents, and that the engine is a EVO VII or VIII and only has 50,000 miles on it. I posted a pic in the post:
I dont know if you could tell if thats a evo VII or VIII engine or not, but check it out.
From what I've read, the problems are on the Eclipse's... but since this has a diff. engine, do you think that would resolve/remove the problem, seeing as the ppl who had it had stock cars/engines?

im telling you the DSM world gets shady. i know cause i was in it for some time... i would go for a car like that TSi that has all the receipts and you at least know exactly what your getting...

Would buying a new aftermarket 7 bolt crankshaft remove the chances of getting crank walk?

no. the problem lies within the block itself. the oiling system. the oil squirters on the inside of the block are the culprit. the earlier blocks took the oil from the main oil galley instead of taking oil just before the main bearings.
