Should these be removed? I've read restrictors should not by used. Also, I'm installing the intermediate shaft bushing and I can't remember if the grove cut into the center has to be in a particular orientation.

Hemi's need all the oil they can get up top especially the exhaust push rods with heavy valve springs. Doesn't matter which way the slot in the bushing points.
