Well, when we spin a bearing, it is loud, and we learn quick to not drive it. When the 4G63s get crankwalk, the crank actually moves around in the block, and it can even walk around in the block and make a huge hole in the block. If the problem is caught quickly enough, it won't have time to walk around too much. However, in the blocks that don't seem damaged, there is a high rate of recurrance. Strange. Often times, crankwalk can be attributed to a faulty clutch install, or a faulty transmission install where it isn't lined up right. Sometimes though, it comes out of nowhere on a stock plant with original parts. How odd.
All I can say is:
Better them than us!
