Compression sensor gasket assembly

Abstract

A compression sensor gasket assembly includes a pressure sensor assembly having an annular, radially extending pressure sensor seal seat and a gasket body having opposite sides extending between an opening configured to register with a cylinder bore of an internal combustion engine and an outer periphery. The opposite sides of the gasket body are spaced from one another adjacent the opening by a known thickness and a circumferentially enclosed passage extends between the opposite sides into the opening. The passage has an annular, radially extending gasket seal seat. The gasket seal seat is formed within a distance equal to or less than about 3 times the thickness of the gasket body and the pressure sensor assembly is received at least in part the passage with the sensor seal seat being brought into operably sealed engagement with the gasket seal seat.
