I think they are supposed to stop the gasket being crushed too much.

If you tighten them to the correct torque it should be OK. I replace mine with a genuine one and it still bloody leaks!

If you torque it to the same should be fine but the washer type are listed mainly for Sri Gte Gsi that I have found at local factors

Use wellseal. Never had one leak yet. Far better than silicon as it never sets as such.
