Default Contra-piston/head button clearance

As a model engineer with my own lathe I'm considering making my own heads to try to make a big-ish (10cc+) diesel work. I'm planning to use a Viton O-ring seal between a duralumin contra-piston and duralumin head button. Can anyone suggest a good starting point for the clearance between these two components?
