On the left is a Moyer 7/16" repair stud. On the right is a regular head stud.
The regular head stud is full-bodied 3/8", The shank stops the stud from going too far into the block.
The repair stud course threads are 7/16" but the shank is 3/8", there is nothing to stop the stud from being screwed in too far.
Also, there is nothing to torque against except JB weld and tension between the lower and upper threads. All the other studs you are torquing against the block.

On the left is a full-bodied 7/16" grade 8 bolt (ignore the number of course threads, that's not my point) When you screw this in the shank stops at the block.
On the right is a Moyer 7/16" repair stud for comparison.

When doing a lower thread repair with the head still on, using the 7/16" repair stud, you need to know how much stud to leave above the head so as not to screw it in too far. About 1 1/8" is what I used.

If you are only used to screwing in head studs that stop at the block because of the shank, you might be confused and dumbfounded when screwing in a Moyer repair stud.
So, this is a wishlist and tech tip thread...I guess.
