Im curious does anyone know what a crank walk is? It supose to be sumthin about a tranny?:shrug:
Look at your serpentine belt attached to the crank, if the belt wobbles when running, thats crank walk. I think.......or somethin...
the mechanic that is working on my car said when shifting hard to 2nd gear the engine and the tranny twist so it feels like it's not in gear. Is that possible? I haven't driven it yet cuz it's still in the shop. I got a oem svt clucth installed , new flywheel, master cylinder, and tranny. What could that issue be? :shrug:
Crank walk is when the crank moves fore and aft in the engine, putting strain on the thrust bearings. It is caused by a defective block with which the cylinder bore isn't quite square with the crank journals so the crank tends to be forced either forward or backward from where it should be.
This was an occasional problem on small block Chevrolets. It is very rare on other engines. With today's production control I would think this would be a problem from the past. I highly doubt a Duratec could have this problem.
And the biggest problem from crank walk wasn't thrust bearing wear, it was thrown rods on a high rev shift, especially with a stiffer than stock clutch.
What could that issue be? :shrug:
