Hi,

The last few oil changes, I made a new washer out of the cardboard box that
the oil filter comes in.  It seals very well, is free, and only takes a
minute to make.

this reminds me - what sort of bloody washer is *supposed* to be on the WB
engine?  I have been unsuccessful finding anything at my FLAPS that will
fit.  As a result, I have re-used the nylon washer that was on there four
times!  (Yes, it does leak)  Is it 15mm?  Why don't the three FLAPS that I
have checked carry anything that fits?

So, is it a bad idea to use a copper washer?
