Oil pan studs or bolts?
I remember Barry R. saying in a post that studs don't provide enough clamping force vs bolts and will loosen over time, but that doesn't make sense to me. I like the installation advantages studs provide. Also, once you retorque them a few times to account for gasket compression, you can put another nut on them to keep the first one from loosening. Thoughts?
