Re: 50 trim in - lot's of smoke from exhaust

Dude...just get a 6bolt. I'm by no means a professional shop person but i do have a 2g 7bolt GSX. If she ever goes or develops C.W. i'm sure's hell not gonna rebuild it. What's keeping you from just getting a 6 bolt and doing it right? What's tieing you to that 7 bolt so much? You can find 6 bolt blocks for a couple/few hundred bucks or so. And if you do stick with a 7bolt, don't rebuild yours. Somebody here has probably got one laying in their garage for cheap. Buy that until you can get a 6 bolt. If you think you can save alot of money by rebuilding this one, you're mistakenly wrong. By the time you buy rod bearings, cam bearings, gasket kits, honing services, decking and who the hell else know what, you'll have hundreds and hundreds into it. Just going the el cheapo way and throwing a thrust bearing, etc.. in it and putting it back in the car isn't worth the time. Might as well then take the 50 trim off it, put it back to stock and drive it unabused and hope she lasts. I guess it doesn't pay to ask people for advice if you're just gonna do what you wanna do anyway. People wouldn't say to get a 6bolt if they didn't mean it.
