Not sure what "not cork made" means.
Don't think anyone makes a cork head gasket
Unless you are confusing valve cover gasket, which can be had in cork, with a head gasket?
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

God, that brings back memories from behind the parts counter. Sold a guy a pair of head gaskets. Couple of days later he calls in saying he can't figure out how they fit... he has been trying for two days and can't make them work. Tell him to bring the head in and we'll see what the problem is. An hour later I see him walking in and I can barely keep from laughing. He is carrying a valve cover and has the head gaskets all mashed and greased up from trying to get then to fit inside the valve covers. Took the head gaskets back and handed him a new pair of valve cover gaskets, no charge. Turned the head gaskets in for warranty. All the parts guys had a good laugh that day.

Man! I was really trying to give a short, respectful response and not go there. There are new guys you know. Teach 'em right and they are an asset to the later community and prob. find out you may have more in COMMON than you think!  Honestly I did find it funny but I just didn't have to go there. Carry on...

If it is valve cover gaskets, fel pro blue cork/ rubber have been the best for me. The red silicone and black rubber gaskets will not take the heat from the exhaust manifolds sitting one inch away.
Head gaskets I still use steel shim, I think I have one set of the old McCord / Mopar Performance gaskets left...factory iron heads, not aluminum.

Wasn't trying to be an ass, but I can't answer a question if I don't know what it is. I like these

Check with Superformance for valve cover gaskets. They've got good gasket options now. Mancini stocks alot of their stuff I believe. +1 but I used .020 factory shims on my boosted (5psi) 383
