Abstract
A gasket for an internal-combustion engine is designed to seal between an engine block and a cover of the internal-combustion engine. The gasket includes a plurality of members that are metal and a layer of elastomeric material on the members. The elastomeric layer includes joints between the members. The joints allow the gasket to flex to accommodate potential variation in sealing surface of the engine block without bending of the members.
