The newer paper headgaskets are much better than the old copper/asbestos jobs.
At least as far as my .02 is concerned. 
Of ALL the head gaskets that I have ever blown or that leaked, they were all
copper. So now only paper and never a problem.
Of course they do make that new silicon head gasket but I haven't tried it yet.
