Do Evo's have issues with crank walk ?
Just like the title says. Do Evo's have issues with crank walk ? I havent seen anyone post anything of the sort. Do people when they build there motors do anything to prevent this ? Just curious if anyone has anything on that.

Technically any engine can crankwalk. But the problematic engines were fixed late in the second generation 4g63 run that was issued here in the states. I personally havent seen a new reverse head 4g63 crankwalk if thats what your asking

what causes it? DSM plant went with off the shelf designs and engineering when producing the 2G engines in particular. Sometimes, the crankshaft themselves weren't built correctly to standard specs. On other engines, the bearings weren't the correct ones. It strongly varies. Since the crankshaft is a bit loose (only a bit, but such a thing shouldn't even be a little bit loose), it will eventually start moving around and causing play.
I completely blame the "Crankwalk epidemic" On poor mitsu quality controll

"Stronger" Bearings won't help you here! An engine crankwalks with improper clearances, incorrect assembly, wrong parts completely

Umm no offense, But do you know what crankwalk is??? "Crankwalk" happens when the crankshaft starts moving around its housing. This causes the crankshaft to, at some point or another, wear into the thrust bearing heavily.
