Abstract
A manifold gasket assembly of the invention is installed between a manifold and a cylinder head. The manifold gasket assembly comprises a plurality of laterally spaced gasket structures, each having first and second plates with holes and a sealing device for sealing around the holes, and at least one connecting member integrally formed with the second plate for connecting the laterally spaced gasket structures. The connecting member includes a buffer member or a curved portion situated in the middle between the gasket structures. The buffer member or curved portion is situated away from the sealing device and the first plate, and is not compressed when the manifold gasket assembly is installed. The buffer member or curved portion operates to absorb the change of the distance between the gasket structures due to heat of the engine.
