All I can report is that Ford serviced the bolt and washers. According to those books they serviced the bolt and washer with the same pieces as the regular 302 Washers for the 289 Hipo were serviced with a different thicker washer than the Boss 302, standard 289 and 302

Hope this helps

Don't see a down side - the fraction of an inch less of threads engaging from the bolt to the balancer shouldn't be an issue
