I love the Copper Coat, also Permatex Aviation 500 Gasket Adhesive. Gasgacinch is another good product. But nothing will make up for proper prep/ fitment of part surfaces.

2. I would do a follow up torque after a few weeks. This is very important for the head bolts. After you do this second re-torque....check the bolts again a few weeks later as the new gaskets should have fully seated. The bolts should have kept the torque and you are fine.

You need to retorque the head after the first good run (full heat up) and cool down. Mine dropped to about half of spec after first run cycle, never changed again after the retorque.
