Default piston height on AU engine

Could someone tell me what the piston to deck height of the AU I6 engine is.

I.e how far above or below does the piston sit in relation to the block.

Thanks, I did look in the gregories but they dont list. I looked at a Falcon BA repair CD and they list the clearance as .3mm. I was just interested in factory clearances when using the metal shim gasket.

Sorry my last post was not right. The Falcon BA CD lists the piston to deck clearance of 0.50mm.

If anyone can measure the actual piston to deck clearance of a stock AU engine it would help in me working out what clearance I can run.
