myself I have never used copper coat on a head gasket, as that is a thread lubricant. the place for that is on the studs and nuts. I use permatex high tack sealer on all my gaskets. it is oil and gas resistant and holds gaskets in place, and also very easy to remove gaskets. my thinking is that if you use coppercoat then nothing used is good to. a grease film on the gasket is better than copper coat, I have done that also. don't forget most gaskets nowadays have the sealant built right into them and the torque and heat is the sealer. even the old chev 350 engines with with the thin metal head gaskets I have done them with sealant and no sealant. also both surfaces must be flat and no warpage. I have never done a retorque on any chev engine either. the biggest thing is make sure both surfaces are clean and flat. and lube your studs with copper coat or never seize.
