gasket kit compatability?

Today I took a few measurments. I measured the inner and outer wajer jacket grooves depth and width on an Renesis housing, 13b 6 port (FC) plate, and a GSLSE housing. The Renesis and 6 port were exactly the same. While the GSLSE were slightly smaller. Just a few thou.

This lead me to believe that 1st gen, (12a or 13b) jackets are sightly smaller and should be only used on those motors. While all others can interchange 86+ including the Renesis.

But... I know when we were younger a friend of mine used 12a gasket kits on every motor he built because they were cheaper.
