it has a better chance of sealing completely if you use copper spray

of course it would be better to get the right HG. if you arent gonna do that, then use copperspray.

you could use that headgasket but if you do research on copper spray it does not dry with the heat and creates head movement, even with the dowel pins.

Simple answer: yes, you can.

The copper spray is just a good thing to do w/ head gaskets.
