Abstract
A cylinder head gasket constructed in accordance with invention provides a reliable gas/fluid-tight seal between a cylinder head and cylinder block during assembly and maintains the seal during use without substantially losing the contact pressure provided by the gasket during assembly while in use. The cylinder head gasket includes a first functional layer having an opening bounded by an annular free edge. The first functional layer has a full bead and a half bead. The half bead is between the full bead and the free edge. The half bead extends in a first axial direction to a plateau portion and the full bead extends in a second axial direction opposite the first axial direction to a peak.
