ok ill start off by telling you all that i have read alot into this subject and i have gathered few things to always be held true about a 6-bolt into a 2g car: 1: the engine mount must be modified 2: you must rewire your cam angle sensor and crank sensor 3: you should have dsm link to get rid of random misfire codes.

ok so heres my question. the 6 bolt motor i have came out of a 2nd gen car. well at least im pretty sure it is a six bolt....i mean there are 6 bolts holding the flywheel on...as seen here:

im not sure, maybe its is some combination of 1g and 2g parts.... and i am sure it came out of a 2nd gen car, i removed it myself....my main concern is that maybe the last person who worked on it may have put 2g parts on without the proper modification....

any and all input is welcome...thanks!
