I am starting to pull the engine in the Talon this month. I am pretty sure it had crank walk. Spun to different sets of bearing. Does anyone have any suggestions before I dig into this project to far. I know there are a hand full of you that have dealt with this same problem before. And I know you are all going to say do a 6bolt swap but I am on a budget with this. I dont want to throw another 1000 to 1500 back into the engine. If the head is still good I would like to reuse it. But what do you guys think?

I would seriously look at the 6 bolt swap. Once you start pricing the rebuild of the 7 Bolt, you'll might as well spend the money on the 6 bolt. You can easily spend $1000 on a "stock" rebuild: bearings, new crank, oil pump, gaskets, machining etc. Why spend all that cash if you're going to be worried about it walking again.
