Replacement Gasket Thickness..? 120-130

Well, asuming the worst and I did manage to blow my head gaskte the first time I started the motor, I shoudl find a replacment.

This is a high compression B20E. I seem to recall that it needs an extra thick gasket. In looking through the various parts sources I've used, .8mm keeps coming up. I see that for the non-B20E gaskets too, making me thick it should be thicker.

Just how thick and I looking for?
