Default Head Gasket Thickness???

How do you know how thick your head gasket will be after you torque it? Should I have asked for a specific thickness, cc's, volume, etc? I just wanted to calculate my C.R. I cc'd my heads and they are 105 (originally 111cc's, cut .030"). Just guessing that my gasket squeezed to .035" I calculated my C.R. to be 8.9:1 based on the following: 4.18" bore, 4.21" stroke, 105 cc's heads, .001" deck (almost zero deck), 6 cc's (estimate) valve reliefs and head gasket at .035".Thanks, Eddie
