Nothing is better than OEM, check out Golden Eagle's Head gaskets, OEM with copper spray, worth every penny!

Thats how thick they are. stock is .029. the thicker you go the lower your compression would be.(good for turbo)

solid copper gaskets are meant for blocks that have been sleeved and O-ring'd

The oem ones are made a bit larger than the 81mm bore, you can run 81.5 mm bore and a standard oem hg with no problems. I am doing it now in a gsr bored over .020". GL.
