Abstract
An internal combustion engine gasket includes a plurality of annular plates that are stacked. Each of the annular plates includes: a through-hole; an inner circumferential portion; a plurality of bolt holes; an outer circumferential portion; and an intermediate portion. The annular plates includes: a grommet plate having a fold-back portion in the inner circumferential portion; and first and second seal plates stacked on both sides of the grommet plate, and having a bead in the intermediate portion. The inner circumferential portion of the first seal plate is wrapped or held by the fold-back portion of the grommet plate. A spacer member is formed between the grommet plate and the first or second seal plate along the entire circumference of the outer circumferential portion so as to have a thickness smaller than or equal to the grommet plate and include all of the bolt holes.
