Thank you!
They are beveled on one side & flat on the other so they'll seat up against the cone shaped spacer that's on the upper stud.

On some trucks, the spacers are flat on both sides. You need them if you have the cone shaped washer (spacers) on the studs.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
