Abstract
A metal laminate gasket of the invention is engaged with an engaging projection of an engine part for immovably locating the gasket on the engine part. The gasket is basically formed of first and second metal plates laminating together. The first plate includes at least one first hole and at least one engaging portion extending into the first hole. The second plate is situated above the first plate, and includes at least one second hole larger than the diameter of the engaging projection and at least one restricting portion. When the gasket is urged against the engine part, the engaging portion deforms and engages the engaging projection, while the restricting portion restricts bending strength of the engaging portion. The gasket is not accidentally disengaged from the engaging projection.
