A lot of time the studs don’t clear the bar & clamp in the CK 10 honing machine or other equipment , we used to use donor bolts to torque the main caps up for block machine/ honing etc. They were also a pain because they would snag on everything when moving block around for cleaning or any other work, including storage.

The block in question may have been robbed of the studs for another block and motor combination.

Look at the bolt head markings on the 5 positions and see if the head markings differ, usually all head markings are the same on all caps on original motors.
