That sounds about right...Spoon's 2 layer gasket is about .45mm, and the Mugen gasket is about .47mm...both of which are thinner than the OEM 3 Layer.

it is .028" compressed, convert that to mm, I believe it is .71 mm. Yes you can use any combination of the 3 layers, one, two or three layers as long as it is installed properly on a flat head/block surface - not overly warped parts. The middle layer is slightly thinner than the other two layers also if that matters.
