The heads vary depending on the year of production. Some have a deep
recessed flat for the original copper washer and some have none apparently.
You will have to check how many washers are needed for the oil line fitting
to clear the head. The trick to stop them falling off the shoulder of the
bolt is to smother them with grease so that they all stick together. The
crushable copper washers are also smaller than the recessed hole in the
head, so they can move around. Normal copper washers match the hole and
self-centre on the axis of the bolt.
