F6A SOHC Head Gasket

I have a question for the brains trust.
I suspect a blown head gasket in my F6A so I've spent some time using the search function on here but haven't found anything concrete about head gasket availability.
1 post suggested a garden variety F5A gasket is identical, can anyone confirm this?
Alternatively, can anyone point me in the direction of a VRS kit for the F6A.
All help will be much appreciated.

I can't see how an F5A gasket would work on an F6A. The bores are larger, which would put the fire rings inside the combustion chamber.
For the effort it requires to change the gasket I'd go for an proper F6A item. As far as I know your only option would be ex-Japan through the usual channels.

Nice. Let us know if it all matches up. I believe there are multiple F6A variants in existence.
