Wouldn't there be a galvanic reaction [electrolosis] problem using a 100% copper head gasket? I know that the use of the correct coolant will reduce the problem, & in race engines, the teardown rate allows frequent monotoring, but in a street engine, i would wory that the head would become the sacrificial anode in short order.

I think good coolant has enough Magnesium and Zinc ions to keep a copper gasket from deteriorating. They are used quite commonly on L series engines (same thing applies).
