Uh, yeah.
I think you need more information. Where's it going and doing? Thickness?
I didn't know what "#10" designated.
All #10 washers are the same dimensions/thickness, is that what i'm gathering by the responses?

It's going in a motor, touring the facilities, taking up slack.
Don't know what thickness, wondering if #10 washers are all the same.

Nope. #10 is the screw size (0.190" DIA). There are about a billion types of them.
Standard washers will vary from 0.016 to 0.064, 0.032" probably being the standard.
Then there are oversize, tight clearance, fender washers, etc. etc.
McMaster lists 30 different #10 SS Flat washers.
When I searched Fastenal's website for #10 washers in stainless it gives 38 optional results.
If you need something thicker or with a different OD then you'll have to search for that in addition to #10. Thicker washers are sometimes referred to as "spacers" and washers with larger OD are generally called, "fender washers" if that helps.
This is of course different than a 10mm washer.
A fender washer would have a larger outside diameter.
Ok, so a #10 washer is the same, UNLESS you specifically search for a different thickness.
Original link is the generic #10 washer i'm looking for?
Holy crap.
No wonder i'm confused, you guys can't even agree on what it is.

Chances are, if the person didn't bother to specify what #10 washer you need exactly, it will work fine. Approx .032 thick and .500 OD are very common.
If you know where it goes, break out the calipers then head over to McMaster.

Hmm... not really... we're all basically saying the same thing... some are describing it better than others (probably should delete my most recent comment).

Exactly. Those are the type you'd find at your local hardware store if you stopped in and bought a handful or an entire box.

Heh ok.... i'll order these and cross my fingers. Sounds like they're right.
They PROBABLY won't cause my valvetrain to fly into a million pieces.
The one you listed has given dimensions. SIZE: #10 (.195 ID x .063 x .437 OD). See if that works for you and go nuts.
Think #10 screw, like a 10 - 32 X whatever length.
10 X .013 + .060 = outside diameter. (.190)
Works with any number bolt size. Machinist 101. 
Oh wait.... .063" thick? That's probably going to be a little much.
Where are you using these on the valve train and what happened to the factory stuff?

Inside the rocker arms to shim the HLAs.

Do you have a rocker arm and a set of calipers? O.D. is probably your biggest constraint there. Also need to make sure the bolt/washer combo results in the correct length - if you can bolt it together and measure.

Um, do you really need 100 of them?
Why not just stop in to the local decent hardware store and pick up just the few that you need?
