Oil Line Crush Washer direction...

[kehnisz]

I am in process of putting the oil line that is attached to the header coolant pipe (the one with the 4 o-rings that can leak). I did get new crush washers for the banjo bolts. However, after taking off the old washers - and now putting on the new - I see the crush washer has a flat edge and a round edge.

Which edge goes towards the Oil Line? The round sides (will be two washers per banjo bolt) or the flat side towards the oil line. Or, does it even matter as long as you are using new ones?

Thanks in advance - I have a few phone calls out - but my 'life-lines' are unavailable at the moment.

OK - I am going to post my own reply and close the Subject:

I did talk to Don Medina from the NorCal group - and he confirmed my thinking - the beveled side goes against the oil line. Since then, I have run the engine for about 15 minutes - and NO oil leak(s) from any of the 6 washers I put in.
