I tried searching but came up with no definitive answers. Will the GM MLS 6.0L head gasket work on a 408 with 4.030 bore? It seems really close to having some gasket protruding into the cylinders.

Just to elaborate some more, the bore of the cylinder on the 408 is 4.030". The LS2 6.0L gasket has a bore of 4.039". If using a stock LS6 head, is that enough bore on the head gasket?
Would it be better to use an L92 gasket that is 4.100" bore?
