Flexplate install tricks?

Why would you do that?

The flex plate to torque converter bolts have shorter heads on them than standard bolts for the needed clearance, putting a washer under them puts them further out where they are trying to get more clearance...
Read again.#-o.I didn't,t say under the bolt,which yes would put the bolt further back towards engine.I said between the flex plate and t.converter.My transmission guy recommended this 5 yrs ago on my race car(360/904) and have made over 1500 passes since.
