Yet somehow I see all these references of people milling .020" off. Like is that an inside joke, or are they just doing that in addition to clearancing the valve covers or what? Because for these things to fit I'm trying to get over ten times that much milled off.

The stud even when bottom tapped will hit the valve cover. Regardless of nut. The valve covers have to be clearanced. I have never seen a set of A1 studs that don't do exactly this

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...it takes a touch of genius- and alot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
