Very true. Late model 92's changed to whats called a 7 bolt bottom end which uses a different thrust bearing layout. Crankwalk doesn't happen to all the cars but we've seen soooo many of them develop crankwalk over time. It's hit or miss. Late 96's and newer were revised and don't seem to have to much of an issue. Furthermore when people upgrade the clutch to a really strong pressure plate it puts a lot of thrust pressure on the crank during start-up when you press in the clutch when there isn't good oil protection. So we usually recommend de-activating the clutch switch so you don't get as much wear.
