Also, I should say that I just went and re-read your post and for some reason the first time I read it I thought you were measuring in millimeters and not inches. In this case, .065" would probably be too much instead of not enough like I was implying. Sorry for any confusion.

Like Charles suggested, just ditch the .020" base gasket and use some Curil T, or Curil and .010" gaskets. That puts you right in the zone, assuming your deck measurements are the same on all 6 cylinders.

Also, it's only probably 3-5 hours extra work to assemble things without sealants to check clearances, then tear down again. If everything checks out, when you assemble for real it'll go twice as fast and you'll have the confidence of knowing everything will work for sure.
