Bought my gs 98 back in march, has a 420a engine and I wanted to know what im going to expect in the future based on others experience, the previous owner already replaced the headgasket and other few things. It has about 83k miles. Was wondering if there was any other major issues than the head gasket. Help appreciated.

 

Nothing really : )

As long as you keep up with timing belt changes, oil changes, tranny fluid changes... just general maintanance really. You should be just fine.

 

but wait, is it a 6 or 7 bolt?? shouldnt he worry about crank walk sometime in the future? or is that not on the 420a?

 

You dont have to worry about it..

 

crankwalk only applies to 2g 4g63 7 bolt motors, and some later 1g 7 bolts

 

ummmm not sure what to think about this comment . I think you need to do some research on what and why crankwalk happens
