Not to my knowledge. I've never looked into it though

Could it be that only one thickness gasket was specified as well

(thinking of ford diesels where there are several thicknesses

there are several thicknesses of gasket available. They use the hole system to identify them.

Theres another question actually, my head already had the thickest gasket available on it, will the same size one work again?

Was it skimed before?

Gasket thickness is determined by the protrusion of the pistons from the bores so skimming the head makes no difference. Use the same gasket as what was on there.

Not ever doing a td5-so like the ford notch system
