They are pretty close. I measure slightly different numbers:

0.033-0.035" compressed thickness (at 85-90 ft-lbs bolt torque)
3.500-3.510" ID

Yes, I have measured this on several motors/gaskets.

I'm so stupid. Should have measured old gasket. But the id, I measured 3.5240 on this new one

My measurements have gone from the early 90s to maybe 5 yrs ago, so there could be minor changes on the newer gaskets.
