Again...it's hard to tell because they were a part of the kit. The kit comprised of:

Pistons + wrist pins + rings
Complete gasket set incl. copper head gasket
HP Toga bearings (main + rod)
HP Toga valve seals
Head bolts

to be picky there is writing stamped onto the gasket

now i may be wrong but in engineering somthing like that, wont the little
pockets or air that are created cause a hot spot between the head/gasket and block?

I have no idea, TBH. The writing is done with tiny 'dots'...very difficult to feel by hand.
