<p>A cylinder head gasket comprises a plate (1), an annular groove (5) formed to surround a combustion chamber opening (2) formed in the plate (1), a metallic shim (3) fitted into the annular groove (5), and a full bead (4) located outward of the shim (3) and projecting in the same direction as the shim (3). The shim (3) is mounted on the plate (1) by an intermittent welding; with such a construction, the manufacturing cost can be reduced in comparison to the use of a conventional continuous welding or multi-layer welding, and, in addition, the thermal deformation of the shim (3) and the plate (1) itself is reduced as compared with when continuous welding or multi-layer welding is used, thus allowing the sealing capability to be improved, and the cylinder head gasket can be used in an engine of a higher combustion temperature than a combustion temperature which is allowable with the use of a shim formed of a resin material. <IMAGE></p> |
