and apparently he's been running this car like this for an undetermined amount of time (140k on the odometer, he's had it for last 30k)
i'm trying to figure out if this is a ticking time bomb, or if there is some way to get this to work and it's totally okay to run it like that.
i've been searching around and everywhere it says that the journal bearings are different sizes and you could machine a 6 bolt to fit in a 7 bolt block, but then you'd greatly affect longevity of the crank.
then i found this thread:

Well then. Is it possible to take a 7 bolt block, and put in a 6 bolt crank, rods, and pistons? Maybe like a direct swap in, or w/ a line hone? If it is possible, wouldn't that just rule out swapping a complete 6 bolt in a 2g granted that the block is still in good shape? Or is it not possible due to the crank sensors and bottom end girdle configuration?
