Abstract
A fire ring holder is disposed around the boundary of a cylinder bore opening of a gasket to retain a fire ring. The fire ring holder includes a plurality of radially extending spaced tabs which mechanically engage either the upper or lower surface of the gasket body. The ring can be retained using the body of the holder, whose curvature from an upper edge to a lower edge conforms to that of the fire ring. Alternatively, a number of spaced tabs extend radially inwardly to engage the fire ring.
