Dj's old talon has severe crankwalk. Kyle, Ryan, and John were working on fixing Kyle's oil leaks, as Kyle bought the talon from DJ this week. The front case showed visable wear from the crankshaft on it. Thinking this was very odd, John pushed on the crank. KLUNK! Hmm.... So he measure it, don't quote me on this, as I am sure he'll post on it later, but I think it was .06" walked.
Remember this was an automatic car for the first 100k+ of its life. So our tech, Kyle, (not the same one with the lisp and mike's old 93 awd) gets to rip out his motor and figure out why it died.
Oh well, shit happens.
