i bought new gasket recently, same as yours. I need to take head out and change collapsed lifter ( hope that cam is ok) did some research and it seems that Victor Reinz MLS gasket is same as Mopar Performance headgasket, having thinner compressed thickness than normal replacement ones and thus adds little compression, not much but... for normal ppl its not so important but i have milled head and installed that mopar performance gasget to add little of that.

I measured the block and head, they seemed normal so i didn't do any milling, just sanding (1200 grid) backed with aluminum block.

I didn't really check anything about that gasket but the guy who selling it told me to buy that one. it was 2-3 years ago

even a little bit increase in compression is enough after torquing the head bolts down, spin the crank with hand, make sure you have enough valve clearance
