Default LT4 Head Gasket Specifications?

Planning on doing some cylinder head work on my LT4 and would like to nail down the compression ratio afterward...but need specs on the current OEM LT4 head gasket.

I believe it to be .049 in compressed thickness, but do not know its diameter?

Thanks for the help.

:)

Thanks.

I'm not sure of the part number, but that shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
