Need quick help on ARP head studs!!

I'm getting ready to torque my heads down and I noticed that my washers on my ARP head studs have a chamfered side and a flat side.. which one goes up, or does it matter? The instructions didn't say and the last set I used (on my mustang) didn't have a chamfered side.
Thanks

hum. is there a reason for this. i have always installed them flat side up and have not had any problems in the past. i wonder if it really even matters since arp does not make a big deal about it. they seem to only consentrate on the torque specs.
