Default Is there a easy way to tell... (talking about civic sohc pistons)

Hi,

I want to change piston in my d16z6, i just got a set of of pm7 piston with rods for 50$ and i want to put them in my engine... but i was told there is 3 kind of bore
(std, 0.02 and 0.04) or something like that

Is there a easy way to tell the bore of the pistons by looking at them? (i wish they are std bore!)

i have another question too: I want to put a thicker head gasket and i dunno where to look for them. Can i simply use 2 gasket? And would i need to use a different timing belt... cause it wouldn't be the same height?

thank yu guys

ok the ONLY way to tell is to get a measuring device and measure the piston..

and NO you cannot just put 2 head gaskets together if thats what your asking

do u have any pics of the pistons. also if it is infact an over size item it will say on the piston itself wether or not its an over size or std. for a thicker head gasket you can use a crx si head gasket but those kinda suck cus they are paper or u can get a cometic or inline pro head gaskets.
