alright so i'm about to bolt up the baffle plate, screen, and pan on by b18b. i counted 19 holes around the bottom of the block for the pan. my question is what combo of bolts and nuts/studs hold the pan on? is the baffle plate held on w/ a combo also or is it just bolts?

if anyone has pics of their block i'd love to see them.

btw i'm runnin itr slugs in a b18b with arp rodbolts and headstuds. balanced assembly and micropolished crank

****Updated Pics*****
----I put studs all around the outside and i have maybe 3 left, i guess i'll put them in the holes for the oil baffle plate. studs are a better design so they can't hurt, right?

9 studs
-------------------<oil pan
10 bolts

2 studs
-------------------<windage Tray
6 bolts

i don't have a digi cam but that is what it is

 

I just studded all of them.

 

if you have the studs, forget the bolts. bolts have a tendancy to twist apart and are too easy to over torque, given the option i'd go with studs.
