Good idea- - - -I'm also planning to taper the ends of the washer at the parting line where the cap meets the block, to give the washer some hydrodynamic lubrication from the crankshaft rotation. The countersunk Allen screw heads will also trap a little oil, as they will be recessed a few thousandths below the contact surfaces. That's also why it's important to chamfer the crankshaft oil galleries a bit where they intersect the boundary layer at the rod and main bearings.
