So I won't be having you build any of my motors!!

1) Stud torque is different than bolt torque
2) Bolts are installed with oil - studs with ARP lube or similar

You sure as hell DO want to line hone if switching from bolts to studs !!!
No problem there!! Check it both ways ( factory bolts and studs ) and see what the bearing clearance difference is.
BTW, the objective is to apply enough clamping force to keep the cap from walking in the saddle. If you apply enough clamping force to distort the cap ( change bearing clearance or bore alignment),that's too much clamping force - and that is not what studs are ment to do.
