Wow! I didn't think they could crush quite that much. IIRC, thickness of the standards to begin with is something like .060". Do the .010" and .020" crush just as much or more than the standard?

I just measured one and it's more like .055 not .040. Mls is around .050

Per Cummins they are 1.5mm or .059"

That's prior to crushing. The OP wanted the dimension of one that had already been crushed.

I've got 3 well used ones sitting here that saw 150lbs of torque on the studs that measure .059", .059" and .058". Also have a couple of used .010" over gaskets that measure .069" and .069"
