There is no way to know. It may never happen.
I have seen them walk with 30k miles and i have seen them go way over 100k and not walk.

I always liked to think of it as if your worried about it, you shouldnt drive it. Shit is going to break anyway, just have fun till it does.

Though a "dogged out" car is much more prone to problems, including crankwalk, a meticulously cared for 2nd gen, is not impervious to a walking crankshaft.

As xgstguyx stated, go 6 bolt and lay your crankwalk worries to rest. Though ANY motor can crankwalk, the 6 bolt does not have the crankwalk issue, that many of the 7 bolts are plagued with.

true because they figured out the problem so they put trust washers in the bottom end
