Cylinder stud too short!!
Nurse Julie:
Definitely a copper washer under that one then. Looking at your photo, you can really see the difference in lengths.
Fogdevil:
Just noticed Orcadian's measurement parameters.I can relax-my studs haven't stretched by 22mm!!
Nurse Julie-what's this technique with double-nutting?Sounds very useful.Especially the part about saving me having to take the barrel off.
Nurse Julie:
Another little observation, the dowel on the 2nd stud in on the left at the back, it seems to be sitting very much to the left hand side of the stud where the one on the other side is central.

Put two nuts of the correct size on the top of the stud, wind them down a little and then wind the bottom one up, the bottom one will lock against the underside of the top one and the stud should turn.
Orcade-Ian:
yes, parts list indicates 122mm but that is the overall length, not the distance above the case when fitted. Not sure if you can wind them out with the barrels on but worth a careful try. Your studs are already the right way up so initial length must be suspect.
If you back it out a few threads don’t tell Trig. I would investigate further before bodging is even contemplated.
Just a thought - there isn’t another thick washer stuck to the head is there?
If I get the chance later I’ll drop my barrels on the case and measure the distance above the deck for that stud - the only difference would be the base gasket thickness.
