Default Big Bore head gaskets??

Are there any problems with using a head gasket for bigger bore motors on a stock bore? Any sealing or leaking issues?

I'm thinking of using this because I like the compression thicknesses better but if I'll have problems then I'll look for something appropriate in a stock bore gasket.

I tried the metal 6.0 liter gaskets on 98 heads and that won't work.

The heads were the problem, not the block.
