Chinesium, a part or combination of parts contains that looks exactly like a part you have seen before or looks good enough that you think it will work for it's intended purpose only to find out it rusts, breaks, causes injury, works for a few days then stops working, doesn't work at all when removed from packaging etc etc.
First discovered in GuangDong province of China it has become the China'a #1 export and it seems that regardless of how many houses are torn down because of drywall made mostly of Chinesium or toys and food that have unsafe levels of this substance for children, sales are on the increase as they have been for the last decade

Swapping bolts for studs you need to have the line bore at least checked. Commonly what happens is the bore changes due to the different clamping forces. As others have eluded to the torque specs for studs are higher. Additionally the axis of friction and resistance changes. With the bolts the twisting axis is obviously longer and will deflect more torque as the bolt gets tighter. With a stud it is much more stationary and the twisting axis is at or near the top. Additionally the clamping force originates closer to the surface of the head of the nut on a stud vs lower in the block when being pulled down by a bolt.
Ive seen where different fastener types required a rehone and other times everything is ok. Gotta check it.
