Default cometic head gaskets?

ok so i'm rebuilding a d16a6, i was looking into the cometic mls head gaskets. I'm keeping the stock bore of 75 mm.. however the smallest bore listed on the cometic site is 75.5 mm... do they make a head gasket for a stock size bore? or do i use the 75.5 mm one?

Getting a D16Y8 gasket will be your best bet. I run a Cometic and regret getting it. It's exactly the same as a 92+ OEM honda one.

if you rebuild the motor, wouldnt you want to freshen up the bores? make it a 75.5
