Abstract

A gasket may have at least one metallic layer with at least one combustion gas through-opening and at least one fastener through-opening. The fastener through-opening may be at least partially circumferentially bounded by a deformation limiter having a plurality of troughs and crests. All of the troughs and crests are substantially aligned with one another.
