yeah, the 1.2mm is fine as long as you are not cutting the deck or head by any significant amount to drastically alter the comperssion ratio.

What he said. The machinist can/should tell you how much metal is removed during decking.

Have the machine work done first before ordering your gasket. Then purchase the correct size gasket.
