Default Another rod bolt/nut question

I did not want to hijack the other thread.

Most of my motors all have rods with cap bolts-so no bolts with bolt and nuts. I picked up a set of used billet Crower rods with through bolts. 3 of them I can hand screw the nuts all the way down. The other 5 have 1 nut that gets tight like there is a "crimp" , other nut hand tighten. It is the nut not the bolts. No galling. Which is normal?

Called Crower no specific comment other than probably nuts not bolts-which or back ordered. He said to order ARP nuts. Got some new ARPs and all are tight even on a new 7/16 lug nut stud I have.
