A metal gasket (1) for an internal combustion engine is formed of a metal plate (3, 32, 63) including a base portion (3a) extending substantially throughout an entire area to be sealed, at least one hole (11, 15) formed in the base portion, a curved portion (19a) extending from the base portion, and a flange (19b) extending from the curved portion and disposed on a part of an upper surface of the base portion. A coating member (21, 23; 51, 53; 83) is deposited on the flange facing the base portion and/or the base portion facing the flange. The coating member is formed of a non-thermoplastic coating material to operate as a surface pressure regulating member between the flange and the base portion to thereby regulate a surface pressure at the flange. <IMAGE> |
