A unitary boundary gasket adapted for sealing between flanged portions of two axially mated surfaces of rigid metallic members, such as between an engine block and an associated engine oil pan. In one preferred form, the gasket has a rectilinearly shaped annular body, and is formed of a one-piece radially outermost rigid metallic carrier having a first axial thickness, and adhesively bonded to a one-piece radially innermost elastomeric sealing body. The sealing body, bonded to the metallic carrier at the radially innermost edge of the carrier, includes a plurality of spaced apertures adapted for accommodating passage of bolt members for fastening said flanged portions together about the gasket body. Intermediate the apertures are longitudinally extending waffle pattern regions designed for sealing against leakage of fluids between said apertures. In one preferred form, a plurality of sealing beads extend medially between each waffle pattern region.
