I don’t get to Harbor Freight often enough. I could use the measurements if you can find the time.

Doing the mental arithmetic, I'm still having trouble seeing it as a Timing issue unless your timing is Waaaay off..... at which point I think you'd have certainly starting if not running troubles.
I would Check your compression firstly and if you are comfortable, Pull the cylinder and check those Ring lands.
A quick and easy way to bump the timing would be just add 10% RUG and see what happens.
What happens if you run say 3-6 Hours on Diesel? Do you get the same problem?
I just can't see how with what you are doing this can be happening unless there is a Compression or a severe timing issue that would affect the engine on any fuel. What sort of a Load are you putting on it when it is running? It's not either running with minimal load or over loaded and smoking is it?
There's no good reason not to use a little gasket sealant around the waterways, just make sure you go the right side of the bolts...
Of course, if one had a 12/2, one could do the experiment by installing the gaskets opposite ways up on each cylinder, and trying it out. Should anyone wish to ship me a 12/2, I will sacrifice the time to do the experiment, in the interests of science, obviously
As water seepage appears to be a problem on some Lister engines, It might be worth giving them a hit with this stuff. Isn't exactly cheap but seems to work well and truly as advertised in my experience.
Hi Tyss
Original ONLY can go one way.
And the side of the ridge stay faced down.
A copper gasket is just a thin sheet of copper. Your pic seems to show some thick material in the middle ?
I think the consensus is that this style leaks easily, and that the style with RTV sealer around each hole and a crimped on fire ring for the cylinder, holds up well.
Just look at here: https://listerengine.com/smf/index.php?topic=8320.msg103752#msg103752
The original gaskets (and original Lister) has 2 large holes and guides to fit the gasket in correct way!
