Abstract
The multi-layer gasket assembly includes a plurality of metal gasket layers which have at least one set of axially aligned openings. The plurality of gasket layers includes at least two functional layers which are arranged in a stacked relationship with one another. Each functional layer has at least one full embossment bead that is spaced radially from and surrounds the at least one opening. The functional layers are also arranged such that the full embossment beads are in a nested relationship with one another. At least one stopper is positioned adjacent the nested full embossment beads for preventing full flattening of the full embossment beads.
