>John you mentioned that your oil pan bolts are wired. Are these all of the small 6mm bolts?
Yes

>If so; how did you wire them?
I bought drilled bolts with the right thread

>are they weaker because of this
Probably in some small way, but they're not under a lot of stress.

>What type of mount are you using? Is it the bed mount that relies on the 6mm bolts?
Custom made bed mount. It doesn't use the sump bolts.

>interesting that no one has mentioned or suggested the use of thread lock
I went through three tubes of the stuff :)
