Default 4.005 bore head gasket question

I'm having my 6.0 bored out to 4.005 and need head gasket help. I'm going to be using mls gaskets but they're going to deck my block and with a 6.125 rod there might be clearance issues. Do I need to use a 4.030 bore gasket or is a GM 6.0 gasket ok?

I believe the GM 6.0l MLS gasket measures out to a 4.040" bore, so you should be fine if you use that one. We typically use the part #12589227.

I have a set of GM MLS 4.040" .051 gaskets for private sale.
