One caution about using all-thread studs: Pean the threads so the studs
cannot be turned too far into the block, breaking through into the oil
line. Thread them into the block and then mark the threads where the
stud extends above the block. Peen the threds with a punch.

| If you are looking for studs, here is what I did (although my holes were not buggered at all): I installed new mounting studs during installation. I ended up purchasing a bunch from McMaster-Carr so that I would have the one's I needed. I used 40mm x 8mm x 1.25mm studs with an 8mm schnoor washer and a nut. 40mm is a little long and 35mm would be better - especially for the front-most stud/oil line clearance. But, I just bent the oil line a bit and it works fine. Here is a link to the stud I used at the McMaster-Carr website: http://www.mcmaster.com/nav/enter.asp?partnum=90435A125&pagenum=2977 tom short wrote:
