A Cometic gasket will only compress to the thickness of the individual pieces. Usually you have a 0.020" stainless piece in the center, and then two coated pieces riveted to it. Measure the unembossed thickness of the two coated pieces, and add that to the 0.020" stainless piece in the center, that's your minimum compressed thickness.
