When you remove the head off the block its always a good idea to use new head gasket.
Once you squish the gasket.... its not going back to its original shape. Being cheap and trying to save a few bucks is not worth it because if the head gasket starts leaking down the road, just imagine all the stuff you have to take out just to replace it.
oopps. Sorry I missed the question.
I think there is only one size of head gasket.
