Question Crank Walk noted in reverse

A local shop here has finished work on my car and noted crank walk. They state this because when the car is backed in reverse, they hear the flywheel against the shield ?, tinging against the metal, and not when going forward. I had them do the rear main seal and clean the flywheel during a clutch replacement. None of this was noted before I brought them the car to them.
They are not trying to get more work, so I am wondering about other people's experience with " Crank Walk " in an early acura and possible time till I blow it up.
I think that I can get a rough measurement by setting up a dial indicator on the crank pully and moving the car in first gear forward, then letting it go backward slowly untill it stops, then check the measurement verses the zero you started with. I will check the spec tonight in my manual.
