Question Oil Pan ???'s

Ive heard some horror stories of SOME people getting there Cantons to stop leaking, Is the Moroso any better ? I know its only a 5.5 over the Cantons 7 quart, Also is using a stud kit on the pans better for sealing it up over the stock bolts ?

Just because you have an oil leak doesn't necessarily mean it's the pan's fault. Gasket choice, fitment, block, timing cover, etc., all play a role in keeping the oil where it's supposed to be.

I used a set of new stainless bolts to seal mine.
