Abstract
A gasket having a metal core and a coextensive expanded graphite facing layer. The metal core provides a protective edge surrounding combustion openings. The edge is formed and curved downwardly to embrace the edge of the expanded graphite, but is not reentrant. The tip of the edge is spaced from the plane of the inner core surface by a distance equal to the thickness of the expanded graphite layer.
