Crush washers
THC, Didn't you just pull a running motor out of Tina and Replace it?
Nice catch Bob..... LOL.....
However since the new motor has around twice the power of the old one it isn't the same thing.
I have upgraded many things on that bike what I haven't done is pull out a perfectly good part and replaced it with the same thing just for fun.
If not to badly fubaar'ed, you can always anneal the old ones with a propane torch and needle nose pliers to make em soft again. Just heat them up and let them cool naturally, no need to quench. YD
An old trick I learned on the HAMB. It works. Heat the washer until you see the torch flame turn greenish. Let air cool
Wait a sec guys.
I was taught to anneal copper differently than other metals.
It needs to be quenched after heating.
Here's a how-to:

If air cooling works for you that's great but I do it with quenching.

These washers can be bought with pocket change. Why would anyone spend time trying to recondition them?
O'Reilly's has the washers in two places. There is a consumer package on the sales floor out front. There are also some behind the counter that are from brake component manufacturers. They come in various sizes.
Long ago I used to work at O'Reilly's, and before that it was Hi//Lo
That job sucked btw. Pay was terrible and 90% of people that walked in the door were already pissed off because their car was broken.
