I like the guy who posted:

"Sell the 2G GS and get a 2G GSX, keep the beautiful lines, get rid of the crap Neon motor.

What's that last line in his signature say??? My car ain't broken!

Nice replies guys. I can tell our numbers just keep getting stronger while they just keep getting crankwalk. For some reason I'm compelled to continue reading all of those crankwalk strings over there.

You know, the:

"So I have a love hate relationship withthis car already I've had it 3 weeks now and only got to drive it abour 12 miles that first day. What a turd i'll never buy another 2G ...... ever."

or

"i had my used 98GST about 20-30 days before my crank walked"

or

"the previous owner had 3 NEWengines put in the SAME CAR and now (crankwalk) is happening AGAIN...And
whats more, is people have had their cranks independently spec'd before undergoing a rebuild yet when a DSM experiences crankwalk, it seems to be cursed for life NO MATTER WHAT"

or

"I have talked to one guy, he's had 3 engines in his 95 GSX. First one went at around 30K to crankwalk... second at around 5000, now he is on his 3rd engine, which is a 1g motor, he was sick of the crap.

(and)

Second one got crankwalk on his (96 I think), got a new engine replaced, took the car home... guess what!... tap tap tap tap tap.
Less than 100 miles on the BRAND NEW engine.... with crankwalk"

(I'm not making this up either. It's over there, cuase I just read it!!!! http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=9758 )

Everyday, more and more strings. Some poeple say "...naaaw it'll never happen to me." Hell, its a damn epidemic!!!

LMAO...Keep calling our engines crap. I wonder in 3 or 4 years if our ratio of 85% 420a's might now go up. The 2g turbos are gonna be an endangered species.

True, true....

It just bugs the hell out of me that these 4g63 guys dump on the 420A, which, in Len Ayala's Neon (correct me if i'm wrong here) runs a 10.5 in the quarter, at about 600HP. Now if that isn't proof positive of the merit of the 420A, i don't know what is. What do we have to do to earn the respect we deserve? Bleed?

FYI:

Crankwalk might be attributed to the broken oil squirters in the 2G 4G63 motor.

I replied to the thread on DSMtalk. Its fairly lengthy, but I think it has some points that needed to be reinforced. I realize now that I left some parts out. (like the fact that if you upgrade the 420a you have a S16G or T3/4 as opposed to having the T-25 that would need to be upgraded anyway)
oh well, that gives me ammo for another reply :D
