bolts for a purpose. To protect the weaker aluminum
threads from being worn out from frequent use in the
case of a bolt, a stud is used instead. This also
helps to preclude pulled or cross threaded threads (
and the attending use of a helicoil as a cure). The
engine side of a stud will generally be a coarse
thread for better strength in the ally case and the
other end will be fine threads for better retention
with a nut.
