Beyond my limited knowledge threshold....

I feel like I may be choosing the wrong forum to post in, but, I need help.

I have myself a bone-stock 87 Conquest TSI. Located in America if it makes any difference.

Any way, I bought it last week, did the basic tune-up; plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and fuel filter. Air filter looked really clean ...

Conquest t-boned...

So was going to pick up the Conquest. The guy and I were meeting in Seattle. I got to the meet up before him. About five minutes after I arrived he called me to tell me the car has been t-boned. I went to meet up with him and see how bad it was.

Apparently the guy in the box truck wasn't paying ...

And now the building of parts begin....

So, I have decided to go with a 4g64 wideblock from the 88-92 truck/wagon/van (I assume these are mistu trucks.... 4g64 because, I don't want to deal with the transmission drama.

Crank walk and what I've read via Magnus Motorsports

There are a lot of posts, some odd 200+ pages. I would like people to know why crank walk happens and that balance shafts DO NOT cause it.

You can goto wikipedia look up the balance shafts. They're just to reduce vibration. Other than that no inherit effect.

Okay, information overload, I'm becoming confused.

Okay, so either tomorrow or monday I'm picking up a MINT Conquest. So I decided I should check out what the heck I can do to this thing.

First thing I checked was the wiki on the car. Took a gander and noticed that the car came with the 4G63 in Japan. I'd like to say have a very ignorant ...
