I would be leery of a gasket from ebay. Even assuming it really is what the
seller claims it is, it's still old and oxidized. And I see things being
sold all the time that are not what they are claimed to be. (Eg, last night
I saw a TR2-3 starter advertised for TR4-4A.)
As Geo said, my suggestion would be a new Payen gasket.

I assume you mean 83mm. Shouldn't be a problem, even if you get a "86mm"
gasket. The 1.5m gap between the edge of the gasket and the cylinder bore
will quickly fill with deposits.
