Guys Coppercoat was made way back in the day as yes--a sort of sealer with the copper added to promote heat transfer with Steel Shim head gaskets It is not the right product for the way you all seem to use it The spray can Hylomar is the best head gasket sauce in the world--I have re-sprayed Cometics three/ four times and kept on using them--it restores the ability to seal the water--that is all it does The Mr gasket multi layers suck!! Use Cometics or else And if you do use steel shim gaskets the Hylomar is ten times better than CopperCoat--why don't you just use some Indian gasket sealer while you are at it

You drill out a rivet, not like its complicated. I would NEVER reuse thme without cleaning them. Only way to clean them properly is to drill out the rivet and separate them to clean them. Maybe its the difference between compression ratios above 15-1 but I have NEVER had an issue taking them apart and cleaning them, then using copper coat on the outer layers. I've never used a Mr Gasket or anyone else's MLS gasket except Cometic. But they will tell you to either NOT reuse them or to wipe em off and never use anything. Heck I had to drill out 3 rivots and cut part of the gasket on my Keith Black block and B1 head combo. No big deal. The rivets wouldn't let my head seat properly. I had to drill out one rivet on my small block x heads 360 block, the rivet got pinched between the head and block. Cometic gaskets. Caught it just as I was about to torque ut down!
