Guessing that you're planning on a metal head gasket, it depends on how much if any metal needs taking off the head and/or block when you have it decked for the mhg. IIRC, a 1.2mm is about right for most jobs but only your machinist will be able to tell you sure. He'll know how much metal was lost.
