Abstract
A head gasket assembly including a compressible sealing member, such as a grommet, and a method of assembling same. The sealing member is suspended in an opening in the main body of the head gasket as by tabs formed with the grommet and by eyelets which are disposed in openings in the main body and which eyelets have heel and overlap flanges which overlie and underlie the tabs. The eyelets are headed to provide the overlap portion during assembly of the components of the head gasket assembly. In a preferred form the grommet is suspended for vertical 'floating' movement in the opening in the main body of the gasket.
