<p>A metal gasket (1) for an internal combustion engine is formed of at least one metal plate (3 or 5) extending substantially throughout an entire area to be sealed. The metal plate includes a hole (11) to be sealed, and a bead (3a or 5a) projecting outwardly from the first metal plate to surround the hole. A concave (3b or 5b) is formed inside the bead to extend inwardly from an outer surface of the metal plate. A sealing material (17) is disposed in the concave to project outwardly from the outer surface of the first metal plate. Thus, even if a foreign material is disposed on the bead, the sealing ability of the gasket is not substantially affected. <IMAGE></p> |
