Default Uh oh, wrong bore Headgasket?

I have an OBD0 B16A.

I have a Cometic Headgasket here, its 82mm. I googled and found that stock bore is 81mm, is that correct?

Am I okay to use this headgasket or should I exchange it for the proper bore?

I am not sure that it will make much of a difference since there will only be about .5 mm offset on either side of the sleeve. I think that you will be ok. Do you know how small that is? Its not like they are bearing or anything. It will still seal

all HG's are oversized to make room for rebores.
