*preface* I know nothing about DSM's...

Does severe "crankwalk" cause the timing belt to literally jump off the crank pulley after running for a little while??
A buddy(not mechanically inclined) has a 1st gen that does that and he relayed the info(so more in depth info is not available right now). It seems as though the crank pulley is "off" and a bit wobbly too. Any idea whats wrong with the car? I may buy the car CHEAP depending on the problem.
Thanks.
Mark

As far as I know crank walk usually occurs in 2nd gen dsm's and is pretty rare to happen to a 1st gen.
