3.6 Head gaskets ??

Where to get head gaskets for a `92 3.6 ltr. engine. The CE rings supplied in a gasket and the one's everyone want's to sell me are to tall and not wide enought to fit tightly in the grove cut into the top of the cly. I understand the CE rings supplied/available are for the upgrade to the 89-90 3.6 engines that came with out any head gaskets/sealling material.
Origanly had a grafite like fiberous inbedded material as a seal in the shallow and much wider cly. to head sealing contact area.

FYI: From all my checking around I now believe the CE rings that come in the 964 gasket kits will work just fine. Despite the OD gap in the fit.

Having said that. I do believe the grafite like fibrous imbedded material type available from SUPERTEC PERFORMANCE are superior. Necessary? Over kill? At only $10 each good insurance I guess.

The gaskets are an aluminum matrix sandwiched by multi-layered, heat resistant, graphite infused fibers.
