i didn't measure the stud length or the the hole depth.

What happens is that the threads on the top part of the stud don't go down far enough so the nut can not be tightened. Guess you could run a die down and cut some more threads. I didn't really feel like getting involved in fastener modification though.

I understand and sympathize with the situation here though - it's annoying and frustrating to get to this point and find the stupid stud is 'wrong'.

Can it be 'fixed'? Of course.

Thing is, you buy the kit thinking that it's gonna work since it was designed for this particular application only to find it doesn't.

I thought of something I would have done had I known or thought of it. Set the side to side shims with the pushrods not in? It seems so simple, but for some reason the idea eluded me. With the stud issue I had to take them on and off a few times anyways.
