Next time you build a motor, begin with the stack of parts, then cut the block decks to the stack and use the head gasket of your choice to set the squish.

Thank you for the feedback. What would be the difference between your suggested 14096405 and 10105117??? They both have graphite and stainless fire rings. Not to mention they both have a compressed thickness of 0.028". This is a ZZ4 crate engine and I don't have the tooling to cut the decks etc. so I'm only doing the top end. So you are also saying that a 0.028" gasket will work with my combination?
