2.4-liter crankwalk?
 

I'm about to purchase a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Spyder with a 2.4 liter engine. I've read a lot about crankwalk, but it seems to be a problem of 2.0 liter engines. Do I have to be concerned about crankwalk with the 1998 2.4 liter engine? Thanks for helping this newby out. (Well, I'm not entirely a newby; my late wife had a Plymouth Champ, a Cordia, a Starion ESiR, and finally a Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo.)

As long as its a 7bolt it can still get crank walk. Even built up motors can get it. Depending on what the engine has done to it really. What is done to it?

dont worry about it

RE: 2.4-liter crankwalk?
 

This is what the seller says it has (in addition to 70K miles):

Aftermarket cold air intake + A'PEXi air filter ($156) + A'PEXi adapter ($???)
AEM aluminum camshaft gear ($240)
MSD Digital DIS-2 Ignition box ($379)
Pace Setter headers + down pipe - carb legal ($150)

crankwalk can happen on ANY engine but the liklihood is almost 0% 7 bolt 4g63's are really the only ones who need to even thinkk about it.

RE: 2.4-liter crankwalk?
 

Sorry; I don't know what a 4g63 is or whether that is in the car that I'm buying. How can I tell?

RE: 2.4-liter crankwalk?
 

The 4g63 is the 2.0 liter turbo that comes in the gts and gsx. if your car has the 2.4 liter the engine code is 4g64.

to clearify that is 7 bolt 4g63s in the 2G eclipses...the EVO also uses a 7 bolt but it is not a motor that walks the crank;)
