Abstract
A composite gasket is employed between a Harley Davidson engine cylinder block and head; the gasket includes a malleable metal annulus about the cylinder bore, and a non-metallic sheet gasket about the metal annulus and free of overlapping connection to the metal annulus; and a malleable metal gasket is usable between the block and crank case, with one bolt causing clamping of both metal gaskets so that the non-metallic gasket sheet is non-destructively clamped to seal about fluid passages.
