Doesn't that length gauge pictured come with the new Cummins head gasket?

Yes it comes with the upper end kit. Make sure if you get it to order the right valve seals. The ones that come with the kit don't work!!!!!!!!! Good Luck hope you got a good back. That is a bear to line up with your wife trying to tell you how to alighn it...Ask how I know! LOL

There are 3 different length bolts on a 12v. I am out of town or I would be able to give ya the specs. Surely someone has the book or gauge laying around.

If you get a Cummins or Interstate McBee gasket set, you get a gauge.

It is cheaper to just buy the Cummins top end set, trust me!
