is this true?

[stageup]

was reading a thread over on h-t where i've hung out for a long ass time now and someone wrote this

"BTW do NOT get the 08... 08.5 with Jan build and better. To fix crank walk they created a set of diamond cut washers to space the crank and cam shafts which supposedly fixes crank walk the ms3 has no key on the crank so the washers are used instead. Also a new fuel pump, the older high pressure fuel pump wouldn't respond fast enough to throttle causing tip in hesitation at certain engine speeds."

any truth to this or is this buillshit? about the crankwalk, i know about the fuel pump tsb

here's the thread i got it from http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/2344718

for the record, having personally disassembled and reassembled many, i believe the DISI engine has the potential for crank walk.

 

[cbspeed3]

all engines have the potential for crank walk

 

[wisniaPl]

this is ****** up

 

[Captain KRM P5]

all engines have the potential for crank walk

ok, some more than others then. for example, a DSM 4G63 or 323/Miata 1.6 have far more potential for crank walk than other engines on the market.

Read post 2... a good reason not to use Urban dictionary for car terms. but google is a better suggestion!

crank walk, if you gotta ask, it's aready too late LMAO..

Seriously, it won't be a problem for many, but there is more potential for it on the disi engines than you would like to believe. Mazda made a lot of very good choices when designing this engine, but in true automotive engineering tradition left a few stinkers in there for good measure

Hmmm... Crankwalk comes between "cranktastic" and "crankwhore" in the Urban Dictionary. Good to know.
