Abstract

The invention relates to a gasket for sealing two components in a combustion engine, said gasket comprising at least one layer and having at least one through opening for fluid to pass through. The present invention thus provides a flat gasket comprising at least one metal layer which has at least one through opening for fluid to pass through. At the at least one through opening of the at least one layer, a projection is present which points in the direction of the through opening and forms an attachment area and on which a reinforced sealing insert is arranged by means of an adhesive bond to a flat reinforcing element. Sealing profiles are applied on both sides of the flat reinforcing element outside the attachment area, the reinforced sealing insert being so positioned via a cranking of the projection and/or a cranking of the flat reinforcing element that the sealing insert has with its sealing profiles a substantially identical operating height in the region of the sealing points between the two components to be sealed.
