Three questions

Question #1:

Since my (POS Autolite) GP's have fizzed out after 6 months of use, I decided to buy more. I've found a Bosch listed on ********AZ, but it says it is for the "fast glow" system. Is this just the name for the new style (other type aside from the old "pencil" or "series" type)?

Question #2:

Also on the same page, they have listed, "Glow Plug; Prechamber Seal Ring to Cylinder Head; Standard 2.0mm Thickness". Are these the injector crush washer seals I need to replace after doing a compression test? I just ordered a set, the only set I could find, for much more than that:

These seals (the ones I bought) are described as "oversize 2.3mm". Is this going to be a problem?

Question #3:

What about the heat shield?

Do those need replacing when reinstalling the injectors?
