Default Will 6.0 head gaskets work with 5.3 heads on stock bore LS6?

I got a set of Patriot 5.3 Stage II's last summer with 6.0 gaskets that were included in the set. I now wonder if this will even work because I'm installing the heads on a stock bore LS6. Anyone know if this will work, or is this just a disaster in the making? It seems to me that stock 2002 MLS gaskets are in order. Thanks.

Yes, they will work fine. However you are giving up a bit of compression with the larger bore gasket.

Hummm. The entire reason I went with 5.3's was for the increase in compression. I'll be ordering the 5.7 gaskets today and selling the 6.0 gaskets. Thanks for the info.
