If i well remember, OEM uses 1.6mm gaskets.
Did you ever skimmed heads/bloks?

1.6mm head gaskets will be fine, go for the metal type. But as soon as you begin skimming various engine faces then you will have to query it further dependent on how much material is removed.

There is usually plenty of piston to valve clearance but then theres nothing like being sure.
