Which 7 bolt? 1G or 2G? Compression is different between the 1G and 2G. What is it that you're trying to do?

wow, where have you been. This has only been said all the time. The 6 bolt came in 1g's from 90-92.5 and the 7 bolt came from 92.5-94

I haven't heard 1Gbs walking, only 2Gs. Something in the 2G design changed or something. It's only assumed that 1Gbs walk because they are thrown in with 7 bolts as a whole.
I was talking to Spinz4 yesterday about that very question and he's been around this motor for quite some time and he hasn't heard of them walking either. It doesn't mean that it hasn't, just that the internet failed to notify us about it, where it clearly boasts about the 2Gs walking all day long, lol.
