Protect the stud with chamois leather or whatever, Tony - any scratches will weaken the stud…

Hammills advice on the issue
Yes, oversized studs (block end) are sometimes a good solution. Corvair studs, which are similar to those on long-stud XK engines, are available (+0.003, +0.006) from vendors. Do Jaguar vendors also sell oversized studs?
