Message when you get a gasket thats been dimpled, it will take the shape of the heads much better. the problem is, as you heat soak it, the copper tends to conform permanently to the head (GOOD). but for this better seal to "stick" and not leak, you must retorque.

it's almost imperative. if you don't there is a potential that leaks will develope.

Mal1ce is doing copper gaskets, but he's o-ringing his heads and block too (way more sealing potential for super high boost applications). Shoot him an email if you desire, but I recommend hitting some sites like Mr Gasket, etc...
