Question mls/cometic head gaskets ?

Ok I am going to be pulling my motor soon to have my longtubes rewelded as I cheaped out and got what I paid for. Well anyways I have a turbo sitting in my room right now and figure that while I have the motor out I will put on some arp head studs and some mls/cometic head gaskets as when I put the turbo on I wont be able to afford something blowing up for a little while and this will give me some reassurance to that.
I dont plan on running too much boost obviously as I know the limits of the internals and block. So my real problem here is the factory bore is 91.2mm(3.590in) and I found some trickflow headgaskets on summit but dont know if they will work since the bore they say is for 92.2mm(3.630in) and .036in compressed thickness. I dont know anything about this stuff so can someone help me out here and let me know if those would be ok or which ones should I be looking into? Thanks guys.

Anyone, anyone at all with knowledge on this stuff? I am clueless and the motor is coming out next weekend so I would like to figure it out and get something ordered soon so it gets here before the motor is pulled, thanks guys.
