What size are the washers for the headbolts? I've gone to put it back back together but it appears some are missing...thanks

I am pretty sure they are specific to the head bolts.  IE not just a washer of a certain size.  I could be wrong, but most head bolts are like this.  Some are cupped or tapered, or designed to compress in some way.

either find the missing ones or buy a box of new head bolts.

also don't forget to really clean out the bolt holes in the block and lube the bolts.
