Try chasing the threads with a tap (there might be crap preventing the stud
from going all the way in. Turn the block right side up when you do this to
keep things clean (anything you clean out will fall down and out of the
engine).
You could also check the depth of the hole to see if its physically possible
for that stud to screw all the way in.
If it passes those tests, try it with the cap removed to rule out some kind
of misalignment/binding. You have the arrows on the mains pointing toward
the front of the engine, yes?

> To any of you 318 Poly guys that have a Milodon windage tray installed -
did you encounter any problems with the studs (from the Milodon stud kit)
not fitting correctly?
>
> Here's the dilemma - they thread into the #3 and 4 main bolt holes just
fine.  The problem is that the top of the cap is about 1/2" below where the
threads for the nut stop - so there is no way to tighten down the main caps!
>
> I double and triple checked - I have the right install kit (even though it
says for big block chevy on it...).  This is the last thing keeping us from
buttoning up the bottom end - argh!
>
> Can anyone help?  I'll be calling Milodon tomorrow...
> Thanks,
