Then you would word it as ".... what is the thickness of the stock head gasket?"
The reply would be .055 prior to torque, and about .038-.045 post torque....
Those gaskets are not high on anyones listing for a quality gasket irt measuring squish...
Get the Cometic MLS gasket.... Properly torqued it will compress to .028-.035....

Use the SE or Cometic .030 MLS gasket if you are concerned about CCP and squish....
The HD Graphite impregnated gaskets are inconsistent in their final dimensions...
