Tell yah what Ron, I just purchased a set for the 42 Merc stroker I'm building.
I'll check the thread lengths and report back. One has to make dang sure that the coarse threads are not too long and interfere with block internals - on ANY engine. This is an easy way to crack a block - ask me how I 'learned' this lesson! It is now something I always check.
I'll update this thread and make a new post later . . . probably next week.
