Default boring engine for OEM oversized pistons....do I need a bigger Head gasket?

I'm getting my block bored for OS pistons, not sure if they're .020, .025, I don't know yet, btu will I need an 81.5 mm headgasket? can't I just use an 81 mm one?

No! you don't need a bigger head gasket. The oem one is fine all the way up till 82mm. The oem honda b-series head gasket are actually 82 mm.
