Head Gasket Selection I am trying to pick a head gasket for my 4.155 bore ls7. I am having trouble locating one. I saw clevite makes a 4.165 bore gasket but i cant find detail on compressed thickness. Any suggestions?

so it was recommended that I run the factory ls7 head gasket for this application by a very repitable source... just feel odd using a 4.150 gasket for a 4.155 bore. Any one ever done anything like this before?

this is a recommendation from whom some would consider "the best". Was just currious if anyone had ran a gasket that was 5/1000 smaller than their piston bore size before
