Found this for you pal
Protrusion....
0.50 - 0.60mm use a 1 hole gasket
0.61 - 0.70mm use a 2 hole gasket
0.71 - 0.80mm use a 3 hole gasket
0.81 - 0.90mm use a gasket no holes
What work have you just had done?
If the heads been off what’s the worry? just adjust the valve clearances it’s a 5 minute job
.
I take it you have measured and you are able to go down from a 3 hole to a 2?
Valve clearance same regardless of gasket, the gasket holes(thickness) is for protrusion.
I might be talking out of my….. as I don’t know the 300tdi.

- Far away from you!!
Valve clearance (I.e the tappets) stays the same regardless of which head gasket you have.
the holes in the head gasket refer to the protrusion of the pistons above the block when at tdc. 1 is thinnest and no hole is thickest.
