DSM cars suck ***. Speaking from experience. Ask any 4G63 owner about crankwalk... ugh. I wish the oil pressure gauge reading zero was the only problems those thing have.

You are correct. It is only the 7 bolt. I had a 1997 Eclipse GST. I had friend who converted to the 6 bolt. Oil leaks are a constant problem. Not uncommon.

How could I possibly know that knowing nothing about the car. The way you talk about it, it burns oil.
If he has an ad or something I'll look at it.

Hmm my 88 Silverado has one also. Most vehicles I have been in has had one. Some oddballs that haven't: 88 Grand Marquis, and I think my neighbors 00 Malibu doesn't. Um that's all I remember off the top of my head.

My favorite is all the automatic equipped Dodge's running around with tachs, yet my Dad is on his second manual Ram that hasn't come with a tach.
