A multi-layer gasket for establishing a seal between a first member (such as a cylinder head) and a second member (such as an engine block) is provided. The multi-layer gasket includes a pair of outer functional layers and at least one inner functional layer. Each layer has a full combustion bead that encircles an opening, and the full combustion beads of all of the layers are aligned radially with one another. Each layer also has an outer periphery, and the outer periphery of the inner layer is disposed radially between the aligned full combustion beads and the outer peripheries of the outer layers. The outer layers also include half beads adjacent their outer peripheries. |
