I always wondered if this applied to the brass nuts on the O-300 exhaust, or more to the larger engines. After a long day with little rest, my mind is thinking the O-300 had larger studs than .25", but I could certainly be wrong...

don't confuse the size of the wrench used with the size of the stud a .25 stud takes a 7/16
