I just hadn't heard that before, but I've never used a copper gasket before...but know some drag racers that do....

It's possible that hot water (antifreeze) would have an effect on the copper. Water becomes "corrosive" in a sense, when it is boiling... Somehow though I doubt that copper would be effected by hot water. I mean copper roofs and the hulls of ships are just some of the uses of copper and they both last a VERY long time... I'll look into it though and see if there is any reaction between antifreeze and copper at high temps...
