I have an ECi 0-360 in which I am getting ready to install the prop governor on to. The governor drive adapter is attached to the engine and I have installed the four studs that are used to attach the governor itself. However, getting the nuts started is quiet difficult. I'm afraid that if I wrench the nuts on with too much torque, I could possibly crack the adapter casting. All four of the studs are the same as far as the fit.
Is there any reason I shouldn't chase the threads of the studs with a die? (5/16 x 18 threads) I tried it on one of the studs and it seems to work great. I know A/C threads are rolled and using a die may compromise the strength.
Any advice on this?
