how to prvent crank walk
By not buying a DSM 
The Evo's are the longest living engines yet they still walk,
There are plenty of theories, all require ripping the engine out of the car. You can buy a 99 block with the 3piece thrust bearing and re-tap the oil squirters so they pull the oil from the galley instead of the main bearings. Also You have to get the crank Nitrated to toughen the surfaces....
Oh and don't get any clutch with a higher than 2100lb pressure plate... lol
All this may only prolong the inevitable
I think after doing all that it would be cheaper just to bolt in a 6-bolt, just my .02
