TR4/4A TR4 Cam bearing locator bolts... Washers?

I'm well into my engine rebuild, starting to wrap up the bottom end, and I need to know if my machinist lost some washers. The bolts that keep the cam bearings located appear to extend beyond the bearing surface if I run them all the way in. Is there a copper washer required on these? I can't seem to find any reference to any in the manual or online. The bolts will foul on the cam journals without something to shim them out a bit...
 
Too long since my rebuild to remember actually installing them but the SPC shows 1 washer each.

WP0107, Washer, plain - Bearing to block
(5/16" interior diameter and 5/8" outer diameter. No idea on thickness).

Definitely washers are needed, though I don't think they were copper. If you get stuck drop another note and I can probably find one in the garage and measure the thickness.
 
Found em. I get about 0.060 - 0.062 thickness, steel washers. If you found them a little thicker I think you'd still be fine.
