The threads in the case are not all cut to the same depth.

Porsche had a device called a "gang drill". It was a transmission that had twelve drills that would drill the case half in one operation.

Tapping was done in the same manner. The depth dimension for tapping was quite large. As a result, some studs bottom out before others due to lack of thread at the bottom of the blind hole.
