A cylinder head gasket for an internal combustion engine is provided having a single first section of a hard gasket material, and a single second section of relatively soft gasket material which is disposed in spaced encompassing relation with the periphery of the first section. The first and second sections coact to form a narrow gap which substantially coincides with the peripheral configuration of the first section. At predetermined locations within the gap, the sections are interconnected whereby the sections will remain in assembled relation at least while the gasket is being positioned between the engine block and cylinder head of the internal combustion engine.
