Hi,
Sorry for the probably stupid question, but I am stuck. I just finished putting the engine back together for my 1972 XS2 and while putting the tappet covers back on, I realized the the previous owner didn't screw the studs in all the way. Therefore, when I try to put the acorn nut on, it doesn't fully seat against the cover. I cant get the stud to budge and I am worried about using pliers in the case that I ruin the threads.
If anyone has any advice, I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks for your time
