If 1.2mm thick then it equates to 8.3cc

On a 94mm bore yes.
Isnt the dia of the gasket a little more than the bore also?
Does anyone know the standard 4.6 landrover deck clearance?

From measurements I've recorded averages of 95.5 as the dia & 1.12 as the thickness, magically gives @8.026....cc.
Did the OP want clearance or volume?
