6 bolt and 7 bolt refers to the number of bolts that secure the flywheel/flexplate to the crank. The greatest reason why the 6 bolt engine is generally preferred among DSMer's is that occurrences of crankwalk are nearly nil, relative to the 7 bolt engines. There are many internal differences between the 6 bolt and the 7 bolt motors as well.

Pwned.....

but on the same note, on posting a new thread (which I just noticed the Post new Thread option is now partnered with Search First option):

• Make sure you've researched this topic before you ask a question. Do not post a common or repetitive question already answered in the FAQ Forum or the Tech Guide or you'll be Warned/Suspended. And do some keyword searches too.

So here you go, straight from 1000 Already answered questions (http://members.shaw.ca/costall/1000Q/), under I have a question.... about names or terminology (3rd option down). Click, then scroll down about 104th-105th option down. Here's what it says:
>>What is a 6-bolt engine?
What is a 7-bolt engine?
A 6-bolt engine is one that has a 6-bolt flywheel - that is, there are 6 bolts holding the flywheel to the crankshaft. A 7-bolt motor has 7 bolts there.

Along with the flywheel change, there are many other internal changes between the two engines. The crankshafts are different sizes, as are the rods and crankshaft seals. 6-bolt motors have 'big' rods, while 7-bolt engines have 'small' rods. The journal and bearing widths different, although the bearing diameters are the same.

There may also be other changes between the two engines, and the parts are not interchangeable.

Not an attack, Locke, I'll PM you so as to not clutter the thread.
