Abstract: A cylinder head gasket comprises a plate, an annular groove formed to surround a combustion chamber opening formed in the plate, a metallic shim fitted into the annular groove, and a full bead located outward of the shim and projecting in the same direction as the shim. The shim is mounted on the plate by an intermittent welding. With this construction, the manufacturing cost can be reduced in comparison to the use of a conventional continuous welding or multi-layer welding. In addition, the thermal deformation of the shim and the plate itself is reduced as compared with when continuous welding or multi-layer welding is used, thus allowing the sealing capability to be improved. In addition, the cylinder head gasket is preferred for use in an engine of a higher combustion temperature than the combustion temperature when the shim is formed of a resinous material.

Abstract: A gasket comprises a thin plate to be arranged between confronting surfaces of a cylinder block and a cylinder head. The thin plate has attached with adhesives susceptible to plastic deformation at areas where the thin plate comes in mating with the confronting surfaces.

The adhesives, when have come in adhesion with the confronting surfaces, not only establish the reliable head-to-block sealing, but also restrain the displacement that might occurs constantly between the mating surfaces, in favor of plastic deformation of the adhesives.
