Cat 3208 Gaskets

Hi all, 
Question for the Guru;s,
Are all head gaskets the same size on a Cat 3208 Turbo Engine,
Other than bigger bores depending on HP,  I cant see that there would be a difference,
Im having trouble getting a head gasket set for my Coach

Thank you in advance,
Brian,

I replaced the head gasket on the 3208 in my 1981 Foretravel. I believe there are many. See ebay link below.
Also installed new pistons and ground the head. Later, I was told to roll the bearings. while they were in there.

Think all the head gaskets are the same,HP changes by piston shape,I would not use an aftermarket gasket,find a genuine Cat part.
