Thought this would help someone in the future.

Note the red circle with the arrow. This is a one hole head gasket. The hole is in a tab that sits under the intake elbow on the drivers side of the engine bay. The elbow connects the Flow Control Valve to the intake manifold. The hole isn't easily seen, but you might be able to take a flashlight and an inspection mirror and determine which head gasket you have. The available head gaskets are 0,1 and 2 hole gaskets and are based on deck height measurements made when the engine was assembled. Its not likely you will need a different size unless you install new piston sleeves, have the block machined or make some other change that would change the deck height.

How does this relate to P/N or thickness? I have a 1 hole measured .060" and the gasket came in and it was a 2 hole. Any help would be great!

The 2 hole is 0.1 mm thicker than the 1 hole.
