Head gasket question
I am having trouble finding a head gasket on the jegs or summit racing website for the 5.3 ls1. Would it be possible to use a head gasket made for a ls1 but with a bigger bore? I saw that they had one on summit racing for a bore of 3.910 and the 5.3 has a 3.780 bore, would this hurt my engine?? Thanks!

Thanks
