lol, CRANKWALK! j/k

 

ok what do mean by crankwalk?

 

Your engine can come out through the top . You'll have to remove the hood .You should check your oil pressure.

 

what is normal pressure for a gst? or average.

 

look what you started now Dusty, lol. Do a search jah61, there are tons of threads about it, just search "crankwalk"

 

My experience has been around 25psi at idle and 40psi driving.

 

It would help if you told us what your running for a setup and what kind of eclipse/year..

I just pulled my motor out last night and we pulled it out from the top. The easiest is pulling the tranny out with it..

 

i have a 97 gst with big 16g turbo mbc intake 3" exhaust thats about all

 

ok I researched crankwalk on then web it sound like the motors are turbocharged and 2g engine with manuel trans. I have a 99 eclipse with a stock 420a engine non turbo auto trans. Is there any crankwalk problems for that engine? I suspect the kid that this car I bought it from ran it with out oil or it has a blown headgasket.

 

no it shouldn't be crankwalk.... i've never heard of a crankwalk case in a 420a but theoretically it is possible for it to happen. OK. atown tried to jack your thread instead of opening his own [:@]so you are running a stock 420a right? it's most likely a spun bearing. these cars have weak bearings from the factory. if its coming from the bottom of the engine i'd bet my left big toe it's a spun bearing.
OH and 99.9% of 420a's will blow their had gaaskets at some point b/c of the facotry not tightening down the stockhead boltsin the corners. I owned mine for 2 1/2 years and mine blew on about 110k miles.
