351w head gaskets on my 347?
i was taking a look at my head gaskets to re-order them for reassembling the engine and i found out they were fel-pro 1011-2. when i searched this on summit it came up with the gasket and they have a 4.100 in. bore. is there a downside or upside to running these on my engine thats only .030 over? and could these of caused my bad piston ring in some way?

there is nothing wrong with your gasket selection. I would have opted for 1011-1's instead because id rather have a steel fire ring instead of copper

I would concur with Adder here.
You need the steel fire-ring..........
