6bolt, 7bolt, that's how many bolts that hold the flywheel to the crankshaft. 6bolts are more durable compared to 7bolts. 7bolts are prone to crankwalk while 6bolts aren't. www.vfaq.com is a good site.

7 bolts are more prone to crankwalk but I've seen 6bolts do it too. It's still not really known for sure why our motors do this. You can also tell the difference between the two by looking at the oil pan, and by the year of the car. I believe the 7bolts began showing up in the 93 and up cars.

6 bolts are more durable because they have larger connecting rods and they started putting 7 bolts in around mid 92.
