Not true. there was no fix for the crankwalk in the 92.5 and up engines. 7 bolt engines. the 99 they made an improvement for fixing the lifter tick. but thats about it. I remember reading something on magnus website about the possible cause of crankwalk being caused by failed oil squirters due to the type of squirter they used due to clogging or getting stuck open causing less oil to go to the bearings. They took a large saw and cut the engine in slices to figure out what happens. something like that or where the oil is actually routed was listed as the possible causes to it.

This is significantly different from the common usage of the word "theory", which implies that something is a conjecture, hypothesis, or guess. Last edited by tpunx99GSX; 05-26-2010 at 08:00 PM..
