Revisiting this...
Last time I installed the Canton studs, Permatex red glue between the gaskets and windage tray, and Right Stuff between the gasket/block, and gasket/pan. Gaskets were Milodon crush proof. I even double nutted the studs, flattened the pan rail, and rechecked the torque several times. Still started to leak.
I'm wondering if I should use ARP bolts or ARP studs. Maybe the problem was for some reason with the Canton studs, as someone stated earlier here. I spoke with ARP earlier today and they said studs should actually be better than bolts (more/better clamping) and that the problem is usually the gasket compressing, and not the fasteners anyway. But the crush-proof gaskets shouldn't have that problem...
