I threw away all the dumb spring clamp originals and installed good quality,
american made, stainless steel hose clamps when I replaced my engine.  Much
prefer these screw type to the originals.  Automakers use the spring type ones
only because they're quicker to install on the assembly line and don't require
anyone to decide how tight is tight enough.
