Just started to strip the engine.

Do I need to renew the copper / steel washers that go under the cylinder head nuts ?  I will definitely need a couple of the rubberised washers under the pillar nuts, so does anyone know a good source ? Just checked cmsl and  fell over when I noticed the cost !

Copper Yes, steel No if not damaged. The copper M8 can be bought anywhere for about £2 for a bag of 20.

The old washers look like copper coated steel washers - does that sound right ? Should they be copper and therefore replaced ?

Hi,
   I put the old ones back with a smear of hyomar on them, But make sure the two odd-balls (dowty seals) are in very good nick.---Ken

Thanks Ken !  I'll definitely replace the 2 oddball washers - just need to find some !
