After I bolted the spider holder, I notice a few of the dog bones are not completely flat on the lifter bore. Some of the dog bones are pretty high and I'm afraid the lifter might walk out its bore. Here are some pics, what do you guys think? Do I need a new dog bone spider holder?

the spider goes on TOP of the bones, it doesnt wrap around em, this is why they are sitting high.

Please make sure that the dimples are facing up away from the block on the dog bones and then install the spider over top of the dog bones.

The "V" clips on the end act like a spring holding pressure down onto the bones. If they're just inside of them it's just loose free floating, got it
