ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a gasket assembly for sealing between the intake ports of cylinder heads and both sides of the intake manifold assembly in a V-type internal combustion engine. It is an integral, yet remote, part of a formed metal component that primarily acts as a cover between the two banks of the cylinder block of a V-type engine. The metal component is formed as a generally rectangularshaped pan with the gasket portion extending angularly outward and upward along both sides of the assembly.
The gasket assembly is a combination of the extended metal component to one or both sides of which is attached a relatively soft gasketing material such as rubber, cork, asbestos or other fiberous composition materials. The gasket assembly is designed and constructed to make contact with, and provide a seal between both cylinder heads and the intake manifold of a V-type engine. The gasket assembly includes apertures and a plurality of relatively small discretely perforated areas in the corresponding extended metal portion. The perforated areas are preferably remote from the apertures and serve to mechanically attach the gasket materials and the metal together. The metal component is embossed around the apertures prior to assembly, to provide an increase in sealing stress at these locations.
