bored .010 and stock head gaskets

My motor is fully assembled on a stand. The block was bored .010 over. I just realized I used the stock head gaskets when putting it together. Will it be okay or do I need different gaskets. Thanks.

Should be fine.

The stock gasket bore diameters are usually oversized enough that a .010" oversize is okay, whether is a 4.8L, 5.7L, or even a 6.0L, but for future reference at least mention what engine you're talking about.
