Flat gasket for sealing a sealing gap between sealing surfaces of machine components which are pressable against the flat gasket, the flat gasket having a gasket plate formed by several sheet metal layers and provided with at least one elastomeric sealing element in an area serving to seal a sealing gap area in which the component sealing surfaces lead to a locally varying sealing surface pressure at the flat gasket, the sealing element being arranged on a first one of the sheet metal layers and, in the mounted state of the flat gasket, extending through a cutout in a second sheet metal layer forming a first one of the main surfaces of the gasket plate; in order that the sealing element can already be applied by the gasket manufacturer, but, nevertheless, is protected against damage in the course of assembly of the machine components, the gasket is so designed that the sealing element is in the form of a sealing element formed from a material which is applied to the first sheet metal layer and is curable in situ, and the sealing element is pressed through the cutout of the second sheet metal layer only when clamping the gasket between the component sealing surfaces.</PTEXT>
