Default B20 head gasket good for 85mm pistons?

Can I use an OEM B20 gasket if I'm using 85mm pistons? Will this be safe?

Or should I get it stamped-cut to 85mm? Anyone?

Can someone else confirm this? I would also like to know. If this isn't true, where do I find a head gasket that will support 85mm pistons?

A stock head gasket will work fine. I took mine out the first time w/ a dremel...2nd time I didn't bother. It made no difference.
