It has been all bolted up for a couple days now. Running well. Starts well. No sounds of grinding or anything else undesirable. And I couldn't even fit that both over the stud. Unfortunately when I stepped up the size of the stud to fill the hole for the bolts better for stability when the motor is cranking I neglected to consider whether I be able to get a ratchet head on to the nut to tighten it down. Anyone know especially narrow short nuts that can fit over a 7/16 in stud with fine threads? I don't know I don't know if it matters that much since it's working fine and I only intend to hang on to it for a few months this way before pulling the engine and drilling out the broken parts, but it's an interesting detail to try and resolve and I might learn something.
