Let me ask though, it shouldn't move regardless though, I think the crank is what's moving.
Thanks for the reply.

It may look like 1 finger in the video, when I laid the phone down it got off center. I have to push pretty hard to move it. And yes it is an auto.

Yeah, that's what was suggested by another member and if I have time this evening that's what I will do. If its all moving is that a major repair? The odd thing is like I said before though is that you can hear it like hitting right inside the pan, directly behind the dampener.

Got to where an insane quantity wouldn't work.
Great photo Cherokee, (I want one looks like that!) I wonder how long that could work, broken. Driving the cam and accessories is small fish compared to engine torque.
Guess it would start to knock like a disco, then eventually start pissing out the cover seal...someday. Not an interference engine. If enough of the shaft is still riding on #1 main, there may not be much flex between there and #2.
