PURPOSE: To enable the temperature distribution of a gasket to be uniform by arranging a heat-conductive element which is in thermal contact with metal eyelets between cylinder bore apertures and extends into a coolant aperture. CONSTITUTION: A gasket 1 of a compressed paper laminated material includes cylinder bore apertures and coolant apertures 4, 5 protected by metal eyelets 2, 3. A copper strip 7 is arranged in the laminated structure between adjacent cylinder bore apertures. The copper strip 7 is in thermal contact with eyelets 2, 3 and has fingers 8, 9 protruding to the coolant apertures 4. In this way, the overheat generated in the eyelets 2, 3 during engine operation can be quickly transmitted to the coolant passages corresponding to apertures 4 via the copper strip 7.
