A cylinder liner seal includes an annular seal body defining a seal center axis, a first seal surface, and a second seal surface positioned opposite to the first seal surface. The first seal surface is contoured to form a first plurality of seal beads extending circumferentially around the seal center axis, and the second seal surface is contoured to form a second plurality of seal beads extending circumferentially around the seal center axis. Each of the first plurality of seal beads and the second plurality of seal beads define a plurality of peaks alternating with a plurality of troughs together forming a sinusoidal profile. A cylinder liner assembly and methodology of making the same are also disclosed.
