I am finally putting the engine back together, as always i came to a stop (again) I notice i have three difference Leigh studs i been searching hi and low trying to figure out where exactly they go in the case. As far as i know they came off my case when i took the case to be machine. Any input?
Thanks.

Looking at the cylinder head/rocker area:

Longest studs go on the bottom.
Shortest studs go in the top center.
Middle-length studs go on the top outer corners.

This applies to a dual port T1 only, a single-port head has even length studs on the top, which are the same length as the medium-length dual port (upper outer) studs.

I always chase the head stud threads with dies before installing them into clean and libricated/sealed threads.
