I had an engine builder assemble my long block (440) for me and one of the items installed were ARP main studs. Looking at the studs, none of them protrude past the nut and many of them don't use the last thread on the nut. Is this normal? Seems like the stud should protrude well past the nut. I have attached a few pictures, hopefully they work. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks!

When I die I want to go like my Grandfather did, quietly in his sleep. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.
