Copper gaskets have been round for a while.
The main problem is that they can cause electrolytic corrosion ( they form a little electric cell). This can be minimised if a good quality inhibitor is used.
When buying an engine or car, always look to see if there is evidence of this green stuff in the radiator or in the engine itself.
Also, when an alloy head has been shaved to up the comp. ratio, or has been heavily ported, then the metal with water on the other side is thinner than normal and has less allowance for corrosion.
You have been warned!---but it never stops me.
