you have some serious problems if your piston is sticking out of the hole 2-3 mm

what is the problem ? the piston is out the hole 3mm and you can;t clear the piston "flat" to the bottom of the head ? I usually leave 40-45 thous clearance ... if its out the hole and doesn;t clear the 40-45 thous clearance then the only alternative is to use a thicker gasket

3mm - that's not a gasket; that's a spacer!
