Are you sure the thrust washers are in and didn't fall out or anything?

Re: crank walk?
 

it a DSM? how much play is there? it should have like half a nut hair of play in it (check your service manual for exact amount)...

Re: crank walk?
 

its on a Z6 and it probably has just under 1/16 of an inch of play...

(smelly ryan doesn't think people here know anything but d series)

Re: crank walk?
 

DSM lol! well we havent fucked with the bottom end , didnt want to.. its enough play to here it kinda sorta pop.. maybe oga will chime in he was there...

it seems very small but enough im worried...

Re: crank walk?
 

there he is... and ya i do assume its d series only.. plus my name...

Re: crank walk?
 

big double fingered pressue plate = SOHC with more crank walk that a DSM!

Re: crank walk?
 

just replace the thrust washers see if it does anything

Re: crank walk?
 

the z6 came out of a car with an oem clutch actually...

Re: crank walk?
 

any one else? is it a worry .. while its out should i just fix it?

Re: crank walk?
 

are you sure you were seeing crank walk, or were you seeing a seized crank gear moving 1/16" or did you put a dial indicator on crank itself and somehow move the crank back and forth with the tranny on?

this is normal for a honda i swapped a f22b1 with less then 50k on it and it had about the same

Re: crank walk?

Re: crank walk?
 

how about you actually measure the play and check it agains the service limits...im sure its fine
