are you using the orignal inlet plate/manifold? if so should be fairly flat so would think 1mm gasket material with a smear of sealant be ok, if using
a with a home made manifold might not be as true/flat so a softer/thicher material may be better, the standard gasket only has a 0.4mm gasket paper
each side of a plastic heat insulation core with a addition of engrained sealing rings

I used
this , cheap enough and a single A4 sheet of the cork-type-stuff can be cut in half and used to do the whole thing.
I used it over a year ago and it's still going great guns
