The felpro gasket he showed me had a copper band around each cylinder and the rest was just gasket material.

Is he running acetone?? That's really high compression! Do you think you can ask him if an aftermarket head gasket would actually help or be necessary on a moderately modified motor like the GA16DE? I would appreciate it.
Anyways, what do you think the stock GA16DE cooling system would be able to handle from raised compression in the head? How much do you think coatings would help reduce temp? How long should they last in a street motor? I just don't want to spend a lot of money on something that will just wear away after 10,000 miles.
Thanks for your time,
