Watch out. There are thread type's with the same TPI and but different
top angle's of the thread, e.g. UNF/UNC 60º and Witworth 56º. They may
seemingly fit but when you torque them down according spec you may strip
the thread. The nuts may have different AF sizes.

fastener buffs. I installed the rocker assembly to the BN2
engine tonight. Before I started, I found that I had two
complete sets of studs, nuts and washers to install on the
head. Finally getting to torque the pedestal nuts down I was
surprised to find two of the nuts were a different size than
the other six. Let me back up a bit. I was surprised to find
BSF threaded nuts with flats that fit a 9/16ths socket. The
two different nuts would only fit a BSF/Whitworth socket. So,
I took out the other set of nuts and washers and found they
all fit the BSF/Whitworth socket. In the name of uniformity I
used the BSF sized nuts on all the pedestal studs. Just seems
kind of crazy a nut that only fit a 9/16ths socket would have
BSF threads. What's up with that?</div>
