If we had custom metal/steel headgaskets made, would that solve the issue?

these guys manufacture custom headgaskets.

I noticed some of you have mentioned copper headgaskets. Those of you who have used it, did you have any problems with it so far?
My prelude had a steel hadgasket in the H22 motor. Due to a sticky thermostat it the temp was going up and down like a yo yo. But the headgasket never blew. I raped that motor, always redlining it for 50,000km. It still ran strong b4 i traded it in. So Iam thinking, if we get a steel headgasket made, our legends motors will be a bit more reliable.
What do you guys think?
