Abstract
A cylinder head gasket for an internal combustion engine is formed of one metal plate having a base portion extending substantially throughout an entire area to be sealed, a hole formed in the base portion corresponding to the hole of the engine, and a bead surrounding the hole. A resin coating is deposited on at least a part of the bead of the metal plate. Thus, the bead is reinforced and sealing ability is improved.
