Abstract
A gasket can include a body adapted to form a seal in an engagement region between two members. A first sealing portion can be formed in the body and define a first plane. A second sealing portion can be formed in the body and occupy a space outside of the first plane. A first transition portion is formed between the first and second portions. The first transition portion defines a first width in the engagement region that is greater than a second width defined in the first and second portion adjacent to the first transition portion.
