Default Would a stock head gasket work?
I honed my block .020" (81.5mm) over and was wondering if the stock OEM 81mm head gasket would work or would I have to get an over sized one. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

it will work fine. OEM gaskets are already made for 81.5mm bores since that is the service limit when over boring the cylinders.
