Remove copper o-ring ok???
I have here a sleeve gsr block with deck and o-ringed And I have always had problems with the coolant leaking past the copper. Everytime it start leaking I will have to pull the head and redo the copper. I do this Maybe a couple times a year and I'm tired of this. Can I run the block without copper o-ring being installed???

Copper wire used is 18g and no gaps. After cutting to the correct size I will file it so it sit flush with no gaps.

What kind of wire are you using?
If the right kind is used and installed properly it won't leak. Have you checked to make sure a sleee hasn't dropped? Is it always the same cylinder?

That's the right wire.
If you can see a gap where the ends meet then it means it won't seal properly. It might seem like it doesn't matter but it does. The ends have to be perfectly square to each other and meet without a gap.
It's taken even the experienced members here a fair number of tries to get it right.
