Default how to 2layer gasket?

Is there a link, that shows how to take the rivets off in order to use just the 2layer gasket instead of 3? I have searched, and found nutting but questions also in regards to this. Also I heard if you do have to use the 2 layer, its wise to use a copper spray?, wouldnt that defeat the purpose? I mean your taking a layer out to increase compression? but your adding in some material of an unknown thickness. Any suggestions or comments are welcome, im tempted to do this, but if you guys persuade me to stay with the stock 3 layer, I may just save the hassle of performing this. thank you in advance.

Copper spry will not affect the thickness too much to worry about. Its put on as a cheap insurance. Like RTV sealant on an O-ring....

all you need too do is get a pair of needle nose, and just bend the corners of the rivets and then you will see what i mean. get rid of middle layer and spray some copper seal over them and your ready.

Thanx for the info!, copper seal to cover the whole surface of the gasket, sounds cool to me. Thanx for your guys help.
