You definetly have a problem.....

if it is getting worse. First, I would investigate the pilotbushing in the back of the crank. Second, I would inspect the trans for a bad front bearing. If these are both OK, (although I greatly suspect one or the other) then pull the engine if you feel you need to. First, do a compression test, and if possible, a leakdown test. The rings should be checked for gap first, and then for side wear (see my reply to post above). Get a jewelers eye loupe. Look at the face of the rings. The top, if its moly, will be easy to diagnose if there are worn areas. Then, if that checks OK, I would get a fish sale and check the tension. The specs are in the service manual. Crosshatch really means nothing.

This thread, so far...
