A generally rectangular, flat gasket for use in sealing oil pan covers. The gasket has a main body with a rigid core and facing layers. The ends of the main body have a greater thickness than that of the main body. The gasket may be shipped in a flat condition, but is bendable in the zones of the ends to form arched ends for sealing purposes. A method of making such a gasket is also disclosed.
