Why does this one go in so far? f I get a 3/1/2 stud and use it
will it do damage to the block?
The alternative is to not iinstall the stud so deep
What is the best thing to do?

Thanks Appreciated Art
I looked at the local hw store studs as well as on line dont seem to fnd anything longer than 3 inches. I noted that the nut on this stud had to be
cut off . PO must have been using that may.
Looks as though I may have to resort to not fully seating the stud and let the nut tghtening torque take care of thngs?
