Default Head gasket question....

Long story short, I have a 90 prelude, bored and re-sleeved to 8mm by golden eagle, no one offers an after market gasket, so can i just copper coat the stock one? I plan on running 20-25lbs at max, but around 15-18 on the street. Thanks for all your help.

Forgot to mention, GE can't modify my stock head gasket because it is a paper head gasket, no one makes a metal OEM one for my engine, so can I use the paper one and copper coat it for boost? Thaknks.
