Default Head Gasket for LS2 Build

I'm planning on going to an LS2 Block when the time comes to re-build my Engine and I was thinking about a few things..

I already found the Extentions and things like that for the Knock Sensors and the Cam Sensor.

It's going to be a 10.85:1, NA Engine, no N20.

I was planning on using a Felpro 1041 Head Gasket, I've had good luck with these with my current build. This Gasket has a 4.135" Ring Bore, will that affect the Block at all? I see that Ring covering more of the Aluminum around the Steel Sleve than the Sleeve itself.

What are your guy's opinion..?

I would use the factory 6.0L MLS gaskets.

We have made 749RWH with a stock LS2 and 835RWH with a Stock LQ9, both engines never apart.
Both have GM MLS gaskets

You can get Cometic gaskets in a 4.030" bore with thicknesses from .027" to .125". I use them and like them.
