as for the wrc gasket yes if the head and block have been skimmed prior to fitting it if not then no, use what I've suggested above

if you are getting head work done, you may as well skim the head and then use a wrc gasket

So thats one flat surface, what about the block? that usually ends up around 4thou shallow around the centre head bolts. Unless you skim both surfaces flat i wouldn't use a metal style gasket,

I agree with you, I had a new 200 block, wire rung with a group A specification cylinder head with a group A head gasket fitted 15 years ago, run T38 with 2 bar boost and have never had a head gasket failure.
