Just want to know if i can use a viper gasket with 00-01 srx heads?
And can I use the srx water rail? if so will a water rail from a 98 work?

Isn't the viper a 1 piece design?
Why dont you get your cylinders grooved to accept SRX O-rings?
I dont see why a 98 water rail wouldn't work but I could be wrong.

I would like to have my cyl groved but want to be able to swap heads, an duse my viper gasket to adjust the squish.
use the viper gasket. the srx water rail doesnt work, you need to block off one hose, remove the thermostat, then it interferes with the coul below the headlight. if your impatient and it is the last ride of the year and you have been up all night making your srx pipes fit in your viper and your friends are waiting to go riding on you, you can cut it and use it.
you need a mega power water rail, you can also have someone weld two srx water rails together
those heads with a gasket will probly give you about 120lbs compression. for what your doing, using 1 layer will give you about 130lbs. i wouldnt go any tighter on a stock head for trail riding

If you o-ring the cylinders youd set the heads up to have the correct squish, you dont run o-rings and then stack a head gasket on top of that.
Use the mega power water rail and then set up the heads correctly to the squish clearance and angle. this will allow you to have the same compression on all 3 cylinders and a set of correctly set up heads adds a decent power gain.
How tight the heads are set up depends upon the fuel quaility in which you run all the time.
