No idea on sizes but buy a couple of mixed boxes from Ebay and you will be set for life
When they arrive go through them chuck the damaged one's
Change them every second oil change but turn them over every time no need to aneal them before use or when you flip them
The above is for copper washers crush washers can be used but will cost more and need replacing every time
Another option would be fibre washers but again they will need replacing each time
Don't over tighten them
Hope this helps Dai

Soak it for a couple of days and use a thick good fitting spanner and you should be fine

do NOT use the torque settings in the manual as you WILL strip the thread. ask me how I know, go on. I am not the only one either.
