Main Stud vs. Stock type oil pump

Ok, I'll start a new thread on this rather than continue to annoy the other thread.

I've got the ARP studs and the one down by the oil pump sticks up into the way of the pump housing, about 1/2" or so. Haven't really measured.

1wild&crazyguy says : "you need a 12 nut and have to grind it down 'stud n all about .025 into the nut, as in down to where you're taken .025 off the nut."

But I say that kills almost 1/3 to 1/2 the threads in the cap nut.
Seems to me that's a bad thing in a 408 stroker built for 7k rpm.

Does everybody do this, just grind the sucker down to fit the oil pump over?

Do you divot the oil pump housing at all, like a relief?

I want some confirmation before I go grinding on my crankcase.
This thing needs to get spinning.
