crank tip/pulley/bolt oscillates about a 32nd to a 16th of an inch.
i have not taken the bolt and gear off yet because i don't have a new bolt.
plus, i'm not even sure what that would tell me.
bolt is tight. pullys are all tight. timing belt tracks fine. waterpump only lasted 30,000, but it was kinda suspicious from the beginning.
motor had 117,000 miles when i put it in, and was from a junkyard, so car was likely totaled.
it seems like my choices are to either 1, get a new crank, and do a lower end rebuild etc.
or 2, drive it, and just keep an eye on things, as it has been going for 30,000+ miles with no apparent problems.
any advice would be helpful.
