'hurddawg' posted this in another thread...these are headgasket thicknesses and their resulting compression ratios according to Apexi.

Thickness__(0_o)__Compression Ratio 0.8mm___________8.71.1mm___________8.51.5mm___________8.21.8mm___________8.1

So basically, if you want stock c/r, go w/ a 1mm (give or take 1/10mm)
