I use studs with Locktite in the block and "Jet Nuts" with AN washers instead of the serrated "Flange Nuts" that are typically supplied with pan sets. "Jet Nuts" are small diameter 6 point. They are a prevailing torque mechanical type locking nut that will not vibrate loose. The smaller diameter makes it a little easier to install and remove too.
