How important is sealing washers ?

I'm doing a top end job & got the top end gasket set, but decided to change all the chain ramps. So here's the problem - I am missing the sealing washers for the M10 bolts that secures the 4 chain ramp in the case.

The dealers of course dont stock them & being in up North, ordering a few washers from the host means shipping is 10 times the cost of washers...

So what do I do? Can I re-use the existing ones? I tried & at least one of them wont tighten up (my torque wrench won't click & the bolt just keep turning - don't think that's normal?)?

Will I risk oil spraying everywhere if I simply reuse the existing ones?
