Default cts

i have bought a new one, it has a washer on it... nothing special just a washer, but i don't trust it to seal! i'm replacing it cos i've had a bad missfire for a year now between 2 and 3000rpm on light throttle and this is my last port of call before i try getting a new ecu or pushing the old worth off a cliff!

It will seal perfectly with this, just used this on some cars with no problems, no amount of pressure there anyway.
