There are head gaskets nowdays that dont need retorqued.They have been around a long time.There are still head gaskets that need to be retorqued.I dont know what the difference is but the old ones are cheaper to buy.I dont know if the old ones are better or not but its a good idea to retorque them no matter which one they are.You dont need to put anything except maybe silver paint on a head gasket.Copper coat probly wont hurt it,but its better to use nothing.The worst time when you coat the gasket with something is when you put the head on,makes it easy to slip out of place.The new gaskets have sealer made in them if I remember right.
