Go to a hardware store and find some copper & stainless wire - try bending both... Copper is only if you're removing the head constantly. Copper o-rings are the only copper I'd use for a Honda block.
Get a bunch of OEM's from an online dealer shop and be done with it. If you search, hondapartsdeals has a honda-tech code for free shipping or something.

My opinion on the copper gaskets is that copper is suck a soft metal and has a greater potental for blowing out, compresses and seals great tho but I wouldn't trust it under high cylinder pressures.

Re: benson block and copper head gasket ?
speaking from experience..they are good for low power but imo anything after 250whp the tend to give alot of probs..
when i moved from 7 to 15 psi on my stock b16a set up it start leaking water in the cylinders thus pressurizing my engine and caused engine lock.
they suck a lot of heat though but thats about the only good thing..they are just not strong enough to cope with high hp numbers they bend to easy under pressure.
