holy bullshit fucking statement, i know of 3 other pre march 95's not including my car, i know of at least 3 other people, who i know personally, who's motors have taken the stroll, its the 99's that are least likely to crankwalk, why? i dont know probably because they haven't had the time to blossom into their true crankwalking selves yet ...but, i was originally going to pick that motor up but got a little freaked out by the timing belt kinda hanging off the edge of the cam gear a little bit, call me paranoid, but anything alluding to the thought of the crank moving (possible reason for the timing belt strolling around the gears) turned me away, and i have since decided to go with a 6 bolt, stock one for now, and a higher compression with a 2g head later on down the line....all i can say, is weigh it out...all thats involved with getting the 1g motor in the 2g is wiring in a cam angle sensor and trimming a motor mount, the benefit, no worry of crankwalk (unless your name is Sean Caron, aka Tevenor, some of the more hardcore dsm'ers will know who im talking about), a much stronger bottom end (the man size rods), better cam angle sensor, and the ever controversial issue of the 1g vs. 2g head, for my purpose, i think 2g head > 1g head, so anyway, do the smart thing, and make sure you check everything that needs to be checked, www.vfaq.com will tell you how, but if somethin bad happens, dont say you weren't warned
