Yes, the 1/2" washers will be loose on the 3/8" stud. That is so you can move it a tad to grab the 'ear' of the intake and the flange of the header. Also, there is a smaller washer over the top of the 1/2" one to firmly hold it in place.
The problem is this: The header flange and the intake flange (ear) that the washer tightens against are different thicknesses, so when you tighten the washers they sit crooked. The way I solved the problem was to take the original thick washers, clamp each one with a pair of vise grips, and grind off 1/16" off one side of the washer. That now thinner side of the washer is placed over the thicker flange to compensate so the washer tightens straight and torques evenly. If you go this route, then don't order the washers.
*If you go to junkyard to get the oem thick washers, don't take the efi year ones. They are impossible to remove from the bolts. Good luck.
