Pressure and no pressure (head pressure of less than 15cm is no pressure) 100% different scenarios. I agree.
I ALWAYS use new flat copper or aluminum washers on brake fittings. Oil fittings... sometimes.
I heard an old hillbillie tell me one time you can anneal the copper back into shape and re-use a copper washer. But copper washers like cotter pins are so cheap and plentiful why not just buy a new one. I guess if I was stranded in a desert I could use that information???
