If you install both washers you have too much positive camber without any shims.
I recall grinding the convex/concave area until it was flat on one side of some shafts. I don't recall the parts combo used but remember doing it on the table/bench grinder @ work.

I'll look @ my stuff & see if I can jog the memory (I think it was on my dually).

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.
