Crankwalk--if you are asking what that means--is when the crankshaft has forward to backward play (or side to side play in front wheel drive cars).
It is not supposed to have any noticable play at all.
Some manufacturers (like Mitsubishi especially) have this problem, while other companies' cars don't seem to be plagued with it.
And if I remember correctly, 3000GT's have that problem as well (which is also a Mitsu' car).
In some cases, the block can be damaged or the crank even.
You would test for this by seeing if the crank moves at all while the clutch pedal is being pushed in. It would take two people to do that test: one to push the clutch pedal and one to feel or see the crank pulley move or not move.
Motion on the crank's axis = crankwalk.
