When torqued to 160 in-lbs, the top engine bolts are far enough into the castellated nuts that it seems as if the cotter pin doesn't have a full grip:

Considering that the cotter pin will still keep the nut on the bolt, should I leave it as-is, or try to find a washer to shorten up the bolt a little bit?
