They are to seal the glow plug to the head and keep in the compression........More power if you keep it in the engine.

Start off by richening you high speed needle and that should fix it, most engines shouldnt go over 300F. ever.
The washers help with compression, as richie said, I run 1 washer on my buggy.

if you find you are fouling plugs then you use 2 washers.. lowers the compression

it would also help to know what engine , fuel and car you run too
