head gasket bore size vs sleeve bore OD ill post a photo when i get inside.
i have some 5 layer metal 6 bolt head gaskets i'm trying to use. I believe these are the smallest bore versions available. I didn't think anything of it until i got around to putting them on.
my bore is stock 6.0 which is like 4.01 or something, and these gaskets are somewhere around 4.2 ID. the ID of the gasket is allmost nearly equal to the OD of the steel sleeve in my al. ls2 block
what should i do? or just wait to contact fel pro on monday.

IMO, the gasket bore size is a little to big. how did they also look against the chamber on the head? have you opened up the chambers to your bore size? your static compression will increase if you tighten gasket bore size up. 4.040-4.060 is where i think you want to be.
