CYLINDER HEAD GASKET WITH COMPRESSION LIMITER AND FULL BEAD LOADING

A multilayer gasket for establishing a gas and/or fluid-tight seal between a cylinder head and engine block of an internal combustion engine is provided. The gasket includes a pair of functional layers each presenting a full bead and a half bead. A single-piece stopper with a fold over adjacent the combustion chamber opening is disposed between the function layers. The stopper extends between a fifth edge and a sixth edge, wherein the sixth edge is disposed radially between the full beads and the half beads. The stopper can be cranked or coined in a location disposed between the fold over and the full beads. The stopper can also include a secondary fold over adjacent the sixth edge. A distance layer is optionally disposed between the stopper and one of the functional layers. The distance layer can also be cranked or coined between the fold over and the full beads.
