Ive finger tightened the studs and this was as far as they went


i believe this is not right?

the umbrako hole is facing upwards, so i havent put it the wrong way..

 

It is NOT right, did you clean/tap the holes out, and degunge the base of the hole of old hardened oil ?

im pretty shure that it isnt hardened oil at the bottom of the hole as it did look clean, but i didnt scrape the bottom with a screwdriver or so.

if i turn the stud around it is a perfekt fit, does anyone know if its the longest or shortest threaded part of the stud which is supposed to go into the block?

 

If you look very carefully one end will have a tiny shoulder/rest that goes in the block.
You should scrape out any crap that is down the holes first.
