Difference in head gaskets?

Hey guys I just removed my head today because I suspected a head gasket leak but I found out that it was a fel-pro HS 9076 PT-1 and I had read that my 98 cherokee sport takes the HS 9076 PT-3. Could this be a problem or are all the 4.0L gaskets the same? Thanks guys

So I was curious and started poking around. Usually rely on the Napa site. But here is what I found.
Looks like the HS 9076 PT-1 is just the head gasket. Could not find the HS 9076 PT-3 but found it at Advance. Looks like it is everything you need for the top end. Valve, intake/exhaust, thermostat, etc.

Which is kinda cool give you an all in one gasket set to do the job. Funny thing is that there are also two different ones. FPG 530SD. Listed as Severe Duty Type.

And FPG 26211PT.

Which I am not even going to pretend that I understand. The only difference that jumps out at me, besides how they look in the pictures (who knows how accurate those are) is that FPG 26211PT Cylinder Head Gasket Combustion Chamber Opening 3.990" and the other two are 4.000"

I think it's down to different gaskets for either the year changes or the quality like heavy duty

Most of the 4.0 gaskets are the same, some of the late model are better IMO.
I thought the main difference in those kits was the valve cover gaskets which change over the years.
Stuff like water outlet, head gasket, exhaust, are the same or very close.

Edit: when I looked up these kits for the motor rebuild I'm planning I believe the pt-3 kit wouldn't work because of valve cover gasket. Head gasket should not be an issue

This gasket is at least .010" thinner than the other Fel-Pros, so will give you better compression and quench.

Thanks guys I decided to order the HS9076PT-3 fel-pro kit so I could just replace all the of the gaskets while I had the engine apart.

HS 9076 PT-3 is the correct gasket set.

If you had a 2000-2001 you would have needed the HS 9076 PT-4 because the manifold gasket changed with the 0331 head.
