Gaskets

A cylinder-head gasket comprises a metal core plate having two faces and formed with a plurality of cylinder holes, an annular groove of a predetermined depth around each cylinder hole on one of the plate faces, a plurality of stud holes, and a plurality of lubricant/coolant holes. This plate is normally made of stainless steel, a specialty steel, or a steel with a special surface treatment or coating. A resilient seal normally made of a fluorocarbon or silicone is provided on each of the core-plate faces around the lubricant/coolant holes. A cylinder plate of a thickness greater than the groove depth forms respective cylinder rings of the plate thickness sitting in the grooves around each of the cylinder holes. This cylinder plate is normally of a stainless or specialty steel also.

Cylinder-head gasket for internal-combustion engine

A cylinder head gasket for internal combustion engines has all-metal composite refractory seal around each of the cylinder openings and elastomeric seals around each of the liquid passages, the latter being symetrically disposed on opposite sides of the central plate. The refractory seals comprise ribbed sheet metal members disposed symetrically and having perimeters extending inwardly at each cylinder opening, and cover members reaching from one side and the other over the perimeters.

Cylinder head gasket for internal combustion engine

A cylinder head gasket has outwardly open grooves formed in the compressible refractory body around the fluid passages to be sealed and sealing strips received in the grooves so that webs of the strips lying along the bottoms of the grooves are set back from the faces of the gasket while wings of the strips overhang these faces adjoining the grooves.
