the copper nuts i got all had plyer marks on them like they'd been squeezed a little bit. this made the threads inside sort of oblong. a few of them were so tight, i had to run a tap/die thing on them. also should i get the bolts w/ the "collar or shoulder" that's in the center of it?

TIA
rob

it's a newly machined head i just installed, but maybe i didn't get ALL of the threads COMPLETELY clean.
