ABSTRACT:
A head gasket having a pair of armor assemblies with protective shim portions in the zones of adjacency of adjacent pairs of combustion openings. One armor's shim portions face one main surface of a main body of the gasket and the other armor's shim portions face the other main surface of the main body. The associated armors and the shims comprising the armor assemblies encapsulate the zone of adjacency and protect against degradation of that zone and enhance sealing thereat. A method of making the head gasket by applying the armor assemblies from opposite sides of the main body is also disclosed.
