I currently have the engine out of my 1929 Chummy-based special and am considering replacing the sump bolts with 1/4 BSW studs and nyloc nuts.

I know this mod has been mentioned in other threads and I have two questions:

1.  Is it worth the effort?

2.  I know nothing about Loctite, but assume that the stud will need a degree of sealing in the crank case. In that case, what grade of Loctite (or other sealant) would you recommend?
