Hi John,

I installed the 0.032 gasket from Gasket Works last year when I rebuilt 
my engine.  Fit was fine, no leaks that I can tell.  The stock gasket 
is around 0.060, so the 0.032 gives a small compression increase.  I 
used the spray-on gasket sealer that they sell.  I used a sanding drum 
on my drill press to match the gasket to the combustion chamber (I 
matched the liner also).  To do that on the stock gasket you have to 
play games with adding a copper wire.
