He basically told you to magically turn an elephant into a zebra. Any better?

6 bolt motor is the stronger motor of the two types found in 1g and 2g talons/eclipse/lasers. 6 bolt has larger intake ports on the head, stronger rods. The other type is the 7 bolt which is basically the opposite. 7 bolt motors are also prone to the crank "walkin it out" or crank-walk. There was plenty of reading you could have done, all the information I listed above was gathered from about 10minutes of reading I did when I first got my talon.

the number of bolts refers to the number of bolts on the flywheel.
