Yes. I believe thinnest to thickest goes 1 hole, 2 hole, 3 hole, no hole.
Somebody will confirm or correct hopefully

cheers james as always,i am using a second hand head,can i check its not warped with a steel rule or is it better to get it skimmed,valve guides done and use the thicker gasket,its a international engines south america head,so could be off a late 300 tdi

its allways best not to skim if possible but warping or damage from fire ring may mean you have too, in theory you fit same gasket as was fitted as piston height dictates, but skimming head moves valve nearer the head surface so people use the next gasket up to cater for that ,so if you skim, place flat edge over head and measure gap between valve head and face with feeler gauge ,inlets must have a gap of at least 31 thou and exhaust 33 thou
