Crank Walk is WAY overrated. Of course your going to hear about all the horror stories more. How come no one ever just talks about how good their motor is doing and how many miles they have on it without problems? Plus you have retards who boost 20lbs on a 16g with stock fuel, blow it up and post up saying.. "yea, my crank walked today. DSMs suck"

I understand what your saying, but like I said... Crank walk is a rare thing. Its sounds common because thats all you see posted. I say you buy the car and enjoy it. It is a very nice platform to build a street monster.
man i dont even want a street monster, if i did i would have kept my protege and kept goin. i jsut wish the one i was lookin at was newer.
looka t this one im considering takin my svt up there and offerin the guy a straaght up trade. My car has less miles and is newer, and i would be out of the payments. U think 124k is too high mileage for that car/price?

i PERSONALLY have seen 7 eclipses suffer from crankwalk...quick question
if it is overrated, how many engines mitsu wise do you see with incredibly high mileage?? i dont think ive EVER seen one hit 250k...ive driven 3 hondas and a toyota with over 300k and ALL still run
FUCK B&D COMMUNICATIONS!
I've actually heard of a few 4g63s that have run for a long time (and them having a decent amount of mods). Most 4g63s that are heavily modded most likely dont last as long as expected, but of course they wont. If you put lots of boost and abuse to any motor, it will eventually wear it out. I personally have witnessed a lot of friends who beat on their hondas and have them fail (usually rod bearing or main). 7 bolt 4g63 can handle 400whp reliably with a good tune. That just goes to show you how strong they are.
When all is said and done, it is good maintenance and tune that keep a car running good.
