ABSTRACT:
An annular elastomeric combustion seal for a cylinder head gasket of an internal combustion engine includes a radially inner sealing section and a radially outer section. A first integral cantilevered section is disposed between the inner sealing section and the outer sealing section while a second integral cantilevered section extends radially outwardly from the outer section and is bonded to an inner peripheral edge of the base plate. The seal includes a plurality of grooves with roots, the roots formed by means of the cantilevered sections. Once the gasket is installed, the grooves are substantially diminished, but the seal maintains its natural recovery characteristics. A generally U-shaped flange encloses substantially all of the inner sealing section.
