I know the early GTV6s used a multi-part head gasket. 
Perhaps the early Milanos did also, but my '87 Milano did not. 
The gasket that was removed had the metal cyl. liner rings 
built into the gasket. 

In any case the cylinder liners have nothing on top of them; 
their projection is ca. 1.5mm above the engine block, while the spec 
says it should be 0.01mm to 0.06mm.
