Stumped: If an oil pan has 18 holes why does it only need 8 bolts, 4 studs & 10 nuts?
2002 Honda Civic Sedan LX 1.7L.
Pulling my hair out for days trying to figure out how many bolts & studs my oil pan needs since I don't have access underneath the car. The Pan & Gasket have 18 holes but looking at the diagram with the link below it shows I only need 8 bolts, 4 studs & 10 nuts. The math does not add up should it be a combination of 18 bolts & studs?

You are missing at least 4, the studs that go through the oil seal housing. Other than that, I don't know. Why don't you have access to underneath your car?
2 different studs are located near the rear main housing. 4 studs are built onto oil pump.
Not really worth replacing studs unless you have access to a torch or the studs are "already" loose. Auto manufacturers use a semi-permanent glue similar to loctite or threadlocker to prevent studs from backing out from the engine block that only release with heat or they could strip out the threads in the engine block.
It sounds like there are 6 studs already in the bottom of the block.
- My 1977 Honda CB400F oil pan cracked? I'm having trouble finding a new one. I was wondering if there are other years that are compatible or if there's just a good way to fix it.
- Does a dual yoshimura exhaust have different sized holes just like on a stock CRF250R? I own a 2006 Honda CRF250R bike which has dual exhaust which comes stock on the bike. For the stock dual, the left exhaust has a slightly bigger hole than the right because of making even airflows. MY QUESTION IS: I want to buy a dual Yoshimura from motosport.com, i'm not sure if they have different sized holes just like stock. And if they don't, does it make a difference?
- Do I need to only start the 2008 CBR600RR or do I need to operate and ride the 2008 Honda CBR600RR super sport to destinations? I was wondering about during times when the 2008 Honda CBR600RR super sport motorcycle is in storage, especially during cold winter temperatures.
- Do I need the chain adjuster bolts? I've got a honda crf100f, its not a HUGE rush for what I need it for, but the chain adjuster bolt is broken on one side. Do I NEED the chain adjuster bolt? I have new ones in the mail that will be here anywhere from the 2nd to the 10th
