Re: head gasket!! wrong size?
Many smallblock gaskets are that large not ideal but not the end of the world either.
Far as increasing compression, over what, you are changing the whole rotating assembly, the gasket needs to be choosen to work with the hardparts.
On an otherwise stock motor it would increase compression since the stock gasket is .049 but whith a new crank and all that means NOTHING.
