When I bought this engine used 8 yrs. ago, it had a nylon washer on the drain plug and a rubber o-ring on the vent plug, and I've replaced with same ever since. Is this correct? Or does it matter as long as one or the other is used? I can't tell from the parts catalog I have, it doesn't even show a seal on the vent plug.

It doesn't matter as long as one or the other is being used. If the bottom side of the seal screw head is flat, use the washer. If it has a groove, use the O Ring.
