Heres pics of how the gaskets fit. You can see they are not round, as the cylinders. Their is roughly a 1/8th in gap all the way around, except for the extreme top of cylinder, and the gap is wider at the center of the cylinder. I measured them with a vernier, and as close as I could get. Vetically they measure 3.963 in, and horizontally they are 3.763 in, that is at the wide point.
One pic is with out gasket, the other is with gasket.

Would you have pictures of the gaskets against the head so we can see how they line up with the combustion chambers????
