crankwalk

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?
