Abstract
A steel laminate gasket of the present invention is installed between two engine parts having at least one fluid hole. The gasket comprises a first plate having at least one first hole, a second plate situated above the first plate and having at least one second hole, at least one third plate situated above the second plate and having at least one third hole, and a cover member for covering at least first and third holes. The size of the first hole is smaller than the fluid hole of the engine parts to restrict flow rate of fluid passing therethrough. The second plate is provided with a first sealing device situated around the fluid hole such that the first sealing device is sandwiched between the two engine parts. The size of the second hole is smaller than the first sealing device. The size of the third hole is substantially the same as that of the first hole. The third plate is provided with a stepped portion, which is located inside the first sealing device when the plates are assembled together.
