Thanks for the info, the service manual did not mention that. At any rate, I
hope to get an M1 before the pans goes again, I got a little over 10,000
miles with the blower before it let go. It wasn't a fun job and I'm not
looking forward to doing that again. Any reason not to use studs or a higher
grade bolt?
