4G13 12V Head Gasket replacement

Hello, i need some advice.
I have to change my head gasket because its leaking everywhere. So my motor is 4g13 12 Valves but where i live i can get only gasket for 16 valves which is slightly different. So i went online on amazon and ebay to see if i could find the right head gasket, the 12V type but with a bore of 72.5mm (the bore of of the cylinder is 71mm) The listings i found lists compatible for 4g13 and 4g15 but with a bore of 76.5mm. Even my car model is listed in the description but i don't know if its advisable to install a gasket with that much bigger bore. Can you advice if it can be used or if it could cause damage?

So i took off the head and found something strange, even tho it is 12 valves the layout is the same like 16 valves so the head gasket i need to buy is for 4g13 16 valves. I think the problem is resolved.
