4ag headbolt washers

Machining shop i went to lost 2 of my washers.
In need of some now.
Could I just use a specific kind of washer instead?

Yes, if it is ground/machined flat & smooth & hardened, not those available at your local hardware, but available used from almost any other engine. VW air cooleds were plentiful & cheap years ago.

I *might* have some maybe that you can have. I'm in Brisbane southside.

Im all the way up in Cairns.
Might give the machine shop another visit, see if they have some spares.

Finally putting the motor back together, regarding the cam caps.
How tight do you guys do it, it says 9ft lbs but i dont have a wrench that reads that low.
Is it simply a case of just reasonable hand tightening.

I've done them reasonably hand tight before on a 4AGZE with no issues. For my silvertop I borrowed the small torque wrench from work, just to make sure.
