It depends on how much compression you want and where the clearances are, intake valve side, exhaust valve side or the front or rear sides of the pistons I'm not sure what you mean by the squeeeze side of the dome

Minimum is about .045, between .045 and .100 is pretty much undesirable, not tight enough to push the mixture out of the Quench area, not enough to ignite it without the push, .100 or more should work fine.
