My friend is looking at a 96 gs-t with 130k. I plan on checking the t-belt, compression, and shaft play. Probly going with him on monday to check it over. We test drove it yesterday. Upon initial startup, it killed. Then it started fine. I noticed the line from the breather to the intake wasn't connected. Could that have been why it killed? What else should I check?

Take a ACT 2600 or 2900 with you and hold it up next to the engine compartment. Make sure to listen for a deep clunking sort of noise coming from the crankshaft. If the engine is on it's way to crankwalk, that should scare it the rest of the way :bounce:

For some reason I dont think that it will work well. I will try it with my 2600 though.

Check the endplay carefully on the crank. Those years were the worst for crank walk.

BTW, is there a link on how to check for crankwalk? There isn't on vfaq.

Wouldn't you just take the tolerance specs for crank endplay and compare those to the endplay numbers on the car you're looking at?
