Abstract
Abstract A cylinder head gasket for use in an internal combustion engine having a cylinder head accommodating a precombustion chamber block having a bottom face, one part of which is adapted to engage the cylinder head gasket. The cylinder head gasket has an opening adapted to be aligned with a combustion chamber of the internal combustin engine. There is provided a space in the cylinder head gasket adjacent the opening of the cylinder head gasket. The space is adapted to be in alignment with the bottom face of the precombustion chamber block and is occupied at least in part by a component of a high-temperature resistant material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
In a cylinder head gasket for use in an internal combustion engine having a cylinder head accommodating a precombustion chamber block having a bottom face; one part of the bottom face being adapted to engage said cylinder head gasket; an opening defined in the cylinder head gasket and adapted to be aligned with a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine; said opening having a circular boundary; the improvement comprising a bay-like enlargement of said opening of the cylinder head gasket; said bay-like enlargement being adapted to be in alignment with said bottom face; and a plate-shaped insert of a high-temperature resistant material fully occupying said bay-like enlargement; said plate-shaped insert having an arcuate edge substantially coinciding with a length portion of said circular boundary; said plate-shaped insert being of a material different from that of said cylinder head gasket.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
