TFS also sells the gaskets you need.

the only issue with a cometic for me is leaking.

the surface must be 100% perfection for them to seal. one lil spot, and she is gonna leak.

not sure what effect this has on performance or longevity.

... my bore is 4.030" and the gasket is a few thousands more...

**i would NEVER put a steel head gasket of any sort on any motor dry. i use copper head gasket spray or mopar head gasket spray.

i measured an l92 gasket myself today. 9 out of the 10 bores were 4.10xx and one was 4.90xx
the head is going on a 4.030 bore block, so i shouldnt have any interference with gasket, IMO.
