WAG: no, it doesn't matter, unless of course those two longer studs are 
mounted in the appropriate spot so as to accommodate the lifting eye 
found on many of these engines. If that lifting eye is gone, then all 
those studs certainly could be the same length (and you'll just have to 
figure out some other way of hooking the chain hoist to the engine when 
you're pulling it).
