I dont recommend copper rings when using MLS gasket.
copper is too soft and just flattens out. . it doesnt really offer any additional seal. after one use the thickness will measure .003-.008 with original .011 height. the idea is to get o-ring to make a groove into the gasket. the only place copper will work well is when using a copper gasket.
YMMV
