ok well i have been told that 95-96 crankwalk more offten tehn 97-99... why is that? just cause the age or is there something different to there bearing setup, or what not? If so what would i do to the engine when rebuilding it so its not as easy, or would i have to buy a 97-99 block?
This is not necessarily true here is some professional data that shows real crankwalk statistics.

That still doesn't mean that it's all true. There is some truth to it, but who's to say that all of the models that were checked weren't mostly 2GBs? That would definitley raise the % of 97-99 models, wouldn't you think? I'm sorry, but I would listen to the wisemen over there at Tuner's before I listen to some guy that just offers numbers without accurately adding in how many of each year car he's seen c/w happen in. Not to mention the fact that the thread is over 6 years old.

What are the installed mods and we don't do stages here, you'll have to break that down for us; as in, what do you have that makes it a stage 3?
