Roll', yes, ART are the correct make of pistons for the Z1.
If your engine is designed for a two-piece head gasket, there will be a milled groove to take a rubber seal around the chain cavity.

I thought the early Z1 engines used a one piece gasket as they didn't have the oil sealing rubber gasket around the cam chain tower. There is a groove the shape of a casket around the cam chain tower if you need to use one of those seal; otherwise a one piece gasket works. And as Garn noted, the ART pistons are OEM...
