Compressed is supposed to be .051, but I have measured uncompressed at 0.048. So ?

Did you get an answer? 6 & 6.2L GM head gaskets are the same items. They support the 4" and 4.065" bores. Given the aftermarket (replacement parts, not performance parts) uses a single head gasket for LS1 through LS7 (which IMHO is not the right approach), a GM MLS 6/6.2 should work on a later style LS1 (but maybe not the early style with the composite gasket.) Best to check.

i have used the ls2 gaskets on ls1's but not ls3 gasket.i cannot see a problem though as it should still seal up on the cylinder sleeve

I have seen aftermarket "run of the mill" replacement gaskets @4.13", which may be marginal on an LS1.
