Hi all,
Has anyone got an accurate measurement of the thickness of a genuine YPVS gasket after it has been fitted and compressed?

Yep, you guessed right. Little need to know any other I guess? Maybe cylinder base? In fact your right, how much is a squished base gasket too?
I’d like to know how far my squish is out pre assembly if possible?

If you have the option mount an old genuine head gasket and fully torque it up and measure your squish. There will not be much difference. I have done this in the past multiple times with almost the same results. I think the maximum difference was 0.03-5mm. It's not enough to effect most builds unless you are trying to use a very small squish height.
