Default Max bore on a standard head gasket?

My 8BA is bored +60 and I had issues with an unknown make of gasket compressing over the bore and the piston audibly hitting it. A standard bore Felpro replacement has fixed this but it still looked close when fitting. I'd heard that a standard head gasket should do up to +80 before a 'big bore' gasket is needed?
