6 or 7 bolt?

[BoostinNYC]

i have a 92 eagle talon tsi awd motor how can i tell if is a 6 or 7 bolt engine?

in your driver door, when does the sticker say it was manufactured??

If is was up til june of 92 (6/92) then it is a 6 bolt, but if it is after june of 92, then it is a 7 bolt.

I have a 1992 GST and mine says manufactured in July 1991. However I have a 6bolt oil pan.
