Yeah, hopefully the 2.4 7 bolt proves to be a different story. Haven't heard of many crankwalked 4G64's as of yet. Only one and that was due to build error...
We did however come across a few problems with my setup in this process. The main problem was with the main girdle, Mike would be able to explain it better, but it was actually out of factory spec as it sat. It was twisted in effect. That has been fixed and a CRCO dowel kit has been added, so that thrust bearing isn't going anywhere! I have done everything I can to keep this thing from walking, so if it does, well I don't know what I'll do, but it won't be pretty
As far as things look right now, there is no reason this motor should walk, and I am confident in the builder and the machine work. Over all I feel pretty good about this build.
If I were to do it again though I would go 6 bolt. It would have been cheaper. Plus all of my reasoning for staying 7 bolt has since been thrown out the window!
