As long as the actual ring on the gasket makes full contact with the deck you should be fine. Measure the opening with an inside caliper and then measure the bore with a bore gauge (the type with a dial gauge), I would say about .001" of oversize would be good, if not a little more.

Ok I was just asking because the guy a AmericanMuscle tells me I have to have head gasket made especially for .30 that has a metal fire ring so I just thought I was ask someone else

They have so much incorrect info on their site I've lost most of my trust for their info. Measuring is the best way to check, again as long as there is slight clearance I would say you'd be fine

Yeah they're also way overpriced. I've found the same parts for less than half the cost most of the time. They have to step up their game for the people that get deeper into cars than wheels and tints.
