Question Need Help! Can I use a Felpro 17048 Head Gasket on a Gen 6 Motor?

Assembling my motor and the service bulliten inside the head gasket box indicates mark IV and Gen 5 instructions, however it is dated 1993 before the Gen 6 was made. Can anyone tell me if I can use this gasket on a Gen 6 motor and without any modifications to the gasket?

I think the 17048 is for a 4.500 bore. I have them in my 509 engines with Merlin heads and no gasket mods.

Felpro list the #17048 as the correct gasket for a 502, marine application. This is the gasket that I run on my 502 and they have worked out great.

17207 Is the Felpro Gasket set for 502 MPI Gen 6.
Does anyone know if felpro recoments any kind of gasket sealer on the head gaskets ?
