Default Help Cosworth headbolt washers to big?

As above gone to put my head back on yesterday and the washers on the headbolts are slightly to big to fit down inside the head on my 3dr?

There standard headbolts from Matt Lewis but would I be right in saying they might be for a 4x4 head?

Cheers

You need to ask for the smaller washer ones they were only fitted to the early 3drs iirc they are 21mm instead of 23mm

Get them turned down or GGR sells them but they are more expensive Ł45.96 as the very first cars had the small head as mines one of them sure it was something like the first 200
