Using a punch to raise "teeth" on metal is called stipling. Gunsmiths do it on pistols to provide a non-slip surface. If you have problems with intake gaskets collapsing you can also stiple around the ports on the head to hold the gasket in place. Hint: a sharp nail works as good as a $tipling punch.
