The studs are duel thread. Course thread into the block, and fine thread into the acorn nut. The stud also serves as a bolt for the rocker arm. There is just a small amount of course threads at the bottom of the stud, and the upper portion of the stud is is fine thread. There is a flat and lock washer with a nut that is the second fastner for the rocker arm. One on each side of the tube.
