Chamber the big end caps usually so the bolt heads sit right.

Sorry Adam, chamber the big end caps in which way ?

[Royston]

The bolt head to the threaded shank is radiused for strength, so needs a small champher for clearance normally so that it doesn't bind in the end cap

some bolts don't have the chamfer on them, my c20xe had none so they fitted in fine.

this might help

The bolt hole where the rod bolt goes through needs countersinking slightly, to allow the radius under the bolt head to sit correctly.
