Crankwalk

    Anyone have any experience of crankwalk?

    Have had engine replaced on my Automatic 1.6 2003 Ford Focus with an engine (mileage 60,000).

    Broke down in the middle of the road and turned out crankshaft sensor was broken... Now demanded people who installed engine to check the replacement sensor and it's showing signs that 'something' is hitting it. Looking online seems I may have crankwalk which is a big problem but also says it's very rare on automatics!?

    Thanks Jedi. Guessing it's not an easy fix and probably a new engine?

    You could have it repaired but the cranks tolerances would have to be very carefully checked. Wear on the thrust washers is the main cause of crank walk but depending on how much end float has occurred the crank may have contacted then main bearing carriers causing further damage and putting the engine beyond economical repair.

    Thanks very much Nissan. You don't do this work yourself by any chance? If so can you PM me.
