You figure out what deck height you want, what compression ratio you want, you measure the combustion chambers, crunch through the numbers, and do some math.
No simple "use X thickness" recipe, unfortunately. Depends on the exact length of the cylinders, the chamber volumes, etc. --DD

Working through this right now, Stock 76 2.0 block, crank & connecting rods*, 96mm flat top Keith Black Pistons, and new 96MM cyls worked out to .060 shims for very close to stock deck height. In my case I am working with all new, sized parts, YMMV. *Obviously, If you are reassembling and have shims of various size or had more than one on a particular cyl, you will have to refigure your deckheight.
