Default Using MLS 6.0 gaskets on 5.7 engine??

I bought a set of patriot heads from a guy off the board. He had never installed them and still had the head bolts and head gaskets that he got from patriot. The gaskets are GM MLS gaskets that are stamped 6.0, not 5.7. Will these be ok to use? What sort of negative effects could they have? My installer is out of town and I want to have everything ready when he gets back.

These are the gaskets we send out with our heads. They will work fine. They are .055" compressed. The quench area will be greater with these than a graphite gasket.
